Creation was an intensive 3-month effort. It started with sculpting a 24" tall wax model -- which I was then digitized and manipulated digitally to capture the "geometry" of the motion. Machine files were then created to guide a computerized routing machine -- a cnc machine. All the pieces -- carved and flat -- were then assembled and finished. The assembly and finishing took 2/3 of the effort.
