Zoetrope driven by iron shoes on wheels

1990

A sketch featuring various objects and annotations. On the top right, there's a drawing of a zoetrope driven by iron shoes on wheels. Below, a complex structure resembling a three-dimensional atomic model with blue orbits and copper-colored elements is labeled as "coagulated elements instead of fibers." To the right, there's a black bulbous object with white markings, described as an "open weave body with revealed mechanism." Handwritten notes provide material details such as iron shoes, copper, and writing (copper). The image has a creative, conceptual feel, possibly related to art or design concepts.
