Image Statement: One day, in an antique store, I found this amazing vintage instrument that actually played. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make a sculpture from it! I also discovered some handwoven, heritage, vintage linen fabric, and purchased that. It all came together in this amazing sculpture that plays! I also added natural, repellant wood pieces that I designed and cut on my Glowforge laser cutter. I wanted to morph animal and instrument. This piece hangs by a single nail, as I installed a keyhole in the back of the top.
