But Toby Atticus Fraley simply can't wait. Over the past 10 years, the Bridgeville-based artist has been cobbling together his own human-looking robots from anything and everything he can get his hands on — vintage thermoses, old appliances, yardsticks, you name it. They are inanimate, of course, but life-like just the same.

This exhibit is so cool. Just the pictures are so much fun. It's so fascinating the way that we are able to connect things to ourselves. If these robots were in more stereotypical, futuristic robot settings, I think it would be much harder to relate to them and not nearly as fun to look at. But Fraley's robots are really relatable and I think that's what makes them so exciting, even though the settings they are in are so completely average. It's funny that they can be relatable, considering they don't look very much like humans and are made out of strange parts. And yet their setting makes them so human. I also like Fraley's choice to not name his pieces to leave them open to the viewer. There is so much to look at in these little vignettes. I love his perspective as an artist and his work.
