Sketch on a stick, 2021, Brass, Steel, William Waterhouse

kinetic objects made for there own delight. These ephemeral sketch’s cut from brass shim, designed to be forgiving of its crude yet delicate approach of  construction, The sound made  by its ill fitting cogs loosely meshing on one another momentarily distract you from the slick  world around you. This object celebrates small delights. Measured in fingers and thumbs the work is made by hands for hands. Inspired by cheep cottage industry festival toys touted by Jaipur’s street vendors and the artists own childhood memory of a crudely sprayed green foam lizard on a sprung steel wire leash bought for him at a fun fair circa aged 6.
