The most sensual, most sculptural, most emotive pinscreen ever. The Frieze Machine is a 3.5 foot wide by 8 foot tall pinscreen with clear acrylic pins.
The modeling, the bending of light, the figure sculpture and figure drawing tool of our age. Ward Fleming has built a unique luminaire that entertains and enlightens.
Pins hang down within a grid, vibrations through the screen cause the pins to move within their pattern of squares to reflect the lights overhead in different ways.
