Half Ounce - Kinetic sculpture by Nick Rayburn

Here's a new piece by artist Nick Rayburn title Half Ounce. This hand-cranked kinetic sculpture incorporates a variety of fascinating components including an antique letter balance, wood, brass, feathers, a magnifying glass, and a bird's skull, which weighs...you guessed it...one half ounce. The artist has created something very intriguing -- an artifact of questionable age and mysterious purpose. Fantastic!
