My first completed drawing machine. It was re-built 3 times and this is the finished machine. The first 2 builds started to self destruct when turned on.

Childhood frustrations with traditional rocking horses inspired this work. An adult sat on this work is the same scale as a child on a child’s rocking horse. It is powered by a petrol engine, which pushes a fifty-six pound weight back and forth under the seat. The rocking horse rocks higher and higher until eventually the runners skid. 

This is built on a shortened range rover chassis. All the moving elements produce different industrial noises, combining to produce a discordant cacophony of sound.

The structure for the hammock fabricated using an up-ended axle from a ten tonne wagon and a ¾ tonne anchor.
