Spiders in the Attic Wall-Mounted Automaton
Here is another clever work by artist Anthony Lent. I am growing more and more fond of this wall-mounted format. As you see in this piece, entitled Spider in the Attic, the format opens up a lot of interesting possibilities.
I'm, too, increasingly fond of automata that are wall-mounted or set in a picture frame format. They're complementary designs to the more common box-based or flat-platform automata.
Some of Tom Haney's crank-operated pieces fall into this category. Here's another wall-mounted example by Steve Armstrong: http://tinyurl.com/yqcvcv
