Description
- Location: St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
The age-old question of human origins: Where did we come from?
According to anthropologists, humans and apes share a common ancestor, but who was this mysterious predecessor?
Is the answer found in the heavens?
Perhaps our evolution from primordial apes to contemporary humans began as an extraterrestrial scientific experiment. Our alien mother's stem cells fused with those of our prehistoric ape father in a petri dish, resulting in a genetically modified hybrid species, thereby sowing the seeds of human evolution.
This explains the accounts of UFO sightings: Mother is visiting to see how her "kids" are doing.

Chris Chomick
Florida, USA
Elected in 1997
I am originally from British Columbia, Canada, one of seven children. My childhood was filled with drawing, sculpting, and craft projects often sacrificing my own toys to make toys for friends and family. My mother once found me with a handsaw “redesigning” one of my baby dolls for yet another project.
After graduation attended trade school to study Commercial Arts which led to a career as a technical illustrator and Production Artist, including graphic, web, and book design.
I have been working with my husband Peter Meder for over forty years. We met in 1978 and discovered our mutual fascination with puppets, stop-motion films, and mechanical toys. We immediately began collaborating on various projects; one of the first being a stop-motion animated puppet of the Dutch Boy for Sherwin Williams Paints, which was technically our first “doll” created together as a team.
Since becoming figurative artists we have focused on creating automata. Working on technical and complex projects provides opportunities to discover new mediums like using 3D “virtual clay” to sculpt and print parts used in our artwork. A few years ago I switched from working with polymer clays to 3D sculpting and printing with thermoplastics as my primary medium to create our one-of-a-kind figures and automata.
