Chris Dobrowolski's wooden tank

artist Chris Dobrowolski built this tank: its made from Constable prints that come pre glued to sheets of hardboard. -Its made from paintings , the paintings arent glued on afterwards. The chassis is all wheel barrows and lawnmower parts. The engines are suffolk punch lawnmowers (which are also made in Constable country)
This is the tank in action at Cuckoo Farm Studios open day, being driven by Martin with Chris directing.

[deepgreenart]

yes it has a flame thrower, i have seen it in action, but i don't think he lights it often... maybe on account of the tank is made of wood!

Thank you for this footage! I am studying Chris Dobrowolski for an art history project about art in the public domain, so if anybody has any information on him, or knows how I could expand my research, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
