Meet the Makers: Todd Williams

YouTube player

Todd Williams is jewelry maker with a fine hand, a sculpture maker with a wit, and a performer trickster. He might spend 200 or 300 hours perfecting one of his incredible Land Sharks but the real work comes when he brings them out to play. His sculptures are animations that interact with people at events like Burning Man and Coachella by chasing each other through the crowds. While the chassis of the sharks is a remote control monster truck, you can’t just drive a Land Shark, you have to become a Land Shark.
