Once upon a time a mole lived and he has his own mole hole (a house). It was his portable property which could stand anywhere and no land tax had to be paid for this because it was a mole, spectacled and armed, with exclusive length nails which helped him to dig the longest tunnel with very little effort. Of course, he didn‘t know anything about the secret exit. A caterpillar was running out through it as soon as he started feeling danger. It always happened but as soon as it gets to know about it, that will end or maybe they‘ll become friends… That‘s the story that was born in a head while I was turning over the corps of vacuum cleaner in my hands.

The main details:

A mole hole is the corps of an old vacuum cleaner;
A body is a corps of a truck lamp, the part of illuminator and an aluminium plate;
Mustache is a steel wire;
Hands are an aluminium 8 mm wire, 12 mm aluminium tubes and 2 plates;
Glasses are the part of old theatre binoculars;
A spotlight is a luminaire hood and a car antenna tip.
A MOLE HOLE. This portable property belongs to a mole until the end of his life. Without the right to sell, exchange or rent for other wild animals. Confirmed by A.T. 2017.

Artūras Tamašauskas is a "Steampunk" Lithuanian sculptor. His sculptures are exceptional, each unique and distinctive. Tamašauskas describes his sculptures as concrete, clear and at the same time asking them to look for what is invisible to the eye and to think about them. They are like living interior elements.

Tamašauskas is using the most diverse materials for work starting from wares, antiquarians and ending with rubbish that is useless. He is transforming an item that was thrown and useless, giving it the opportunity to exist in a new shape, in a new form, new existence in artistic expression. Steampunk style lovers from Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, USA and Australia have some of his works in their private collections.

Artūras Tamašauskas was born in 1963, in Lithuania, and he has exhibited his works all across the country.
