Woody the Turtle is under fabrication in the shop of artist Dylan Conner! He has been making the curved pipe sections, which are being matched up to a 12-foot full-scale drawing on the studio floor with turtle body parts carefully laid in a grid.

Dylan has shared an image of one of the bending processes in use. Next step: Manipulate the curved pipes to define the outermost edge of the giant turtle shell.

Current forecast is to finish and install Woody at the end of February. This piece is going to be a special one! :)
