Touching Apples -Rocca Gutteridge

When the gradually rotating paintbrush strokes the apple's dehydrating, rubbery skin a copper switch is activated, expelling intriguing and unnerving real- life, pre-recorded human 'slurps'.
Equipment Used: Apple, motor, paintbrush, speakers, copper filings, copper wire, glue, metal, wood.

Dimensions: 400mm x 300mm x 200mm.
