On winding the key in this mechanical assemblage, the parents lovingly but precariously rock their baby, while a music box plays ‘Waves of the Danube’. Housed in a vintage petrol tin, the work reflects on our over-reliance on fossil fuels and its affect on future generations.

Please Don’t Shoot, 2019, kinetic assemblage, 24x58x18cm

Reminiscent of fairground games such as the Laughing Clowns and Shooting Gallery, this work was made in response to the thousands of ducks that are shot for sport every year during duck hunting season in Australia. On winding the key on the side of the work, the decoy duck heads turn from side to side in unison.
Materials: vintage wooden decoy duck heads, vintage wooden utility box, painted timber inlay, timber, handmade mechanical parts, and music box movement.
