Mel Gould's Folk Art

Mel Gould is an ingenious self-taught engineer, whose passion is to build metal sculptures that also function as power-generators. His wind-driven forms and figures are on display in his yard, where a tall "Wind Thing" generates enough power for Buryville - the name of his home. If Mr. Gould is out in his yard tinkering, this affable gentleman may even take a few minutes out of his workday to talk to you. (Photo by Bryan Luoma)
