I thought to myself ‘what would it sound like if I could hear the things that happened on my left side through my right ear?’ So I decided to make this Reverse Listening Device, and it actually works. It sounds very strange and I will now wear it at all times. Above photograph of me taken by Pec studio.

I added an on/off switch onto the saucer. Before hanging I sat the cup on a tray. The original sketch. BBC article about pedestrian crossing. Constellation. Tom Eckert. My sculptures are formed entirely of wood and then painted. I use traditional processes to carve, construct, laminate and paint my pieces. The woods I prefer working with are basswood, linden and limewood (all very similar) chosen because they carve and paint well and are very stable. Coming from a painting and drawing background, I am still interested in applying some of those techniques to my sculptures.
My choice of paint is mostly waterborne lacquer applied using both spray guns and brushes Forms carved to suggest cloth recur in many of my pieces. By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Since childhood, I have been curious about and amused by mistaken impressions of reality presented as part of my visual experiences. Nathan Sawaya — The Art of the Brick.
