The gallery images above result from my wanting to do something different with the two ten-inch end canvases. In the above image of the artwork, the two end canvases I can easily butt them up against their adjacent canvases. Not only boring having all the canvases in a line adds no depth to the artwork. To develop this artwork I first look at the idea to mount those little end canvases either under or on top of their adjacent canvases. Because of the wording written on the main canvases, and the farming of the speakers’ boxes on the backside, I decided against that idea. The solution was to mount the end canvases high enough above the base canvases to allow the words to be seen. The height needed between the canvases then led to a simple design of swiveling the end canvases shown in the images above.

Finally, the idea of swiveling canvases seems interesting. The concern I see is the difficulty in swiveling multiple canvases, while also maintaining structure stability when hung. This music box I see as a good start and a template to expand the technique of swiveling canvases in future projects. Whether this is another door open or another path found, this project continues the line of incremental innovations in the evolution of this art.
