In the fall of 2004, I began experimenting with different materials; before this, I mainly used wood and a little brass.

On this piece the figures are old doll heads and the casters were junkshop finds. Inside is a small wind-up Victrola motor geared down so it runs more slowly. The outside is covered with pieces of salvaged tin. This piece makes a very subtle, but very cool, noise as the heads roll around.
