Farmyard Follies, 2017
13" x 12" x7"
Hand carved basswood, found objects.
The pig and chicken disagree over who won top prize. Turn the crank and this automaton makes the pig knock over the trophy and the chicken fly off her roost.
I found this little trophy and built the scene around it, it reminded me of my childhood, bringing home a trophy or blue ribbon from the county fair was the best part of summer!
