        Artist Statement: <\/span><\/p>\n

        My name is Chris Mora, I am a Colorado artist focusing on geometric and mechanical art in the form of my static and articulate robot sculptures. While my work is technical, it is also very playful. Primarily constructed out of stainless steel and steel, I strive to create engaging, emotive character art in the form of my robots. <\/span><\/p>\n
