Bryan Argabrite

Bryan Argabrite makes large kinetic sculptures with movable forms and reused materials. His Maker Faire Bay Area 2023 profile describes working in steel and aluminum with recycled tools, fasteners and furniture. The same exhibitor page presents Dragonfly, a rideable sculpture whose wing movement responds to pedaling. Burning Man’s archive credits Argabrite with Spider Sweet, a maneuverable spider; the spring-loaded metal creature Wrenching Raptor; and later works including Flameout and Dancing Queen. The entries connect mechanical movement with audience participation and identify Santa Cruz, California, as his source location in those event years. Portfolio dates below identify documented event appearances or archive entries, not necessarily first fabrication dates. Present storage, touring readiness and engineering specifications have not been established.
