I have made a limited edition music box piece that is available for sale. Each piece consists of five, hand-wound, manipulated music boxes mounted on a backing of wall mountable wood. Inspired by my installation Movements, this edition is limited to 50 pieces and works to represent my interaction with music boxes on a more intimate scale. For those of you in Portland you can pick these up at PICA's Pop-Up Shoppe. For those who would like to order online you can do so by visiting HERE .
