Work in progress
It’s a good idea to let choice materials sit on a special shelf and marinate until the time is just right. Today, an old grocery store price stamp seemed ready to use . Someone in my building was throwing out an arm from a drafting machine and it contained a multitude of interesting parts including the very cool large gear shape on top.
The evolving concept for this piece is a small wheel which travels around. I plan to connect this to a crank-shaft which will extend vertically to something flying, perhaps. Here’s some quick video.
It’s completely fab. I love getting to hear and see your creative process as well as seeing finished works. Thank you!
Oh, how I wish I understood mechanisms like you do!
PS, great new workspace eh?
A simple but lovely movement, the travelling wheel has a kind of nautical feel to it so perhaps it could be a steampunk paddle steamer?
