MACHINE FOR JOY: PROTOTYPE #1 2006

Steel, bolts, dynex rope, clips, water pump

150cm x 250cm x 250cm

As the bucket fills with water it slowly drops, lifting each of the 'arms' of the sculpture gradually until it reaches tipping point - at which point the water empties, the bucket flies back up and the 'arms' of the sculpture crash back to their starting position.
