Rucker Theorem Wrecker - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture
Rucker Theorem Wrecker - Raku Fired Ceramic Sculpture:
Raku Rayguns are one-of-a-kind ceramic sculptures made by West Magoon. They are inspired by alien technology unearthed at a secret UFO crash site, known only to a tribe of Wyoming Hill People. Each raygun is named after a science fiction author, character or device.
This raygun takes visual inspiration from the tin toy ray guns of the 1950s and 1960s. The bright colors and wild shapes reference a time and culture that looked to the future with great anticipation. The last photo is the cover of a novel by the author who inspired the name of this sculpture.
The Raku Rayguns are sized for the human hand. This one measures about 11" long by 10" tall. Each Raku Raygun comes with a ceramic moon crater plaque wall mount. The raygun rests on brass hooks embedded in the plaque which provide a sturdy support. The plaque has an attached wire on the back, for hanging on the wall.
The visual roots that inspire these sculptures include sci-fi magazine covers from the 30's,40's and 50's, the styling cues from 50's automobiles, and design elements from Art Deco and Art Nouveau which contribute to the Steampunk flavor of the Raku Rayguns.
When shipping, we very carefully wrap each ray gun in yards of bubble wrap and double-box them.
