16-Foot-Tall Wireframe AT-AT

We did our drive-by at night, but it was still neat -- a fairly impressive structure.

[Suz, 02/06/2016]

The wireframe AT-AT walker was built in 2015 by artist John Sharpe, and stands in his yard. It's big but wispy, since it's made entirely of thin steel wire. Sharpe said his intent was to make the sculpture as a kind of outline, and hopes that visitors complete the AT-AT in their minds.
