Dancing Skeleton Automata

Product Description

75cm x 63cm x 15cm

Iron wire automata of a Skeleton that dances when you turn the handle. Mounted on framed canvas with reclaimed piece of timber.

This work is interactive. Turn the handle and the skeleton taps his foot, shakes his hips, rocks his shoulders, his head rocks back and forth and finally his hands go up and down.

This is a wall mounted piece and can hung on two fixings for stability.

The sail cloth is salvaged from the restoration of a wooden sailing boat. The frame is made from copper pipe that has blue/green patina. The timber is old signage that was discovered under a floor Ben was restoring.

Signed by Ben, in wire.
