Matt Kirby’s “Jack Kilby”

kilby.jpg

Jack Kilby is the cat who invented the microchip.  An elaborate outdoor mall here called The Legends was recently constructed.  Within it are various interpretive sculptures honoring various “legends” from our region.  Matt did three of the pieces; I thought this one was incredible. 

The photo sucks, but the piece is made of heavy cast glass and stainless steel, and basically shows a portrait of Kilby imbedded in a chip, grasped by tweezers.

Sure Matt’s a genius; just don’t tell him I admitted it.
