Made in 1994 the Turtle Singing Tree emits a piercing scream, and one has only to stand near any of the funnels to hear a barely audible voice detailing the miseries of contemporary life. At regular intervals, these monologues are abruptly interrupted by a resounding crash, as the turtle-shaped platform shifts its weight and the tree tilts precariously to one side.

I like this as it relates to my pice of wanting to make a sculpture that makes a noise or has an effect by the wind.

Looking at hur work also gave me the idea of using wind-up clock mecanisans to make more dielict suctpturs or even wind-up cars to make an interactive pice where if it were to be in a park that it would allow the public to interact with it.
