Grand Mechanism

Grand Mechanism proposes industrial repetition in real metal: hex nuts ordered across formalwear until the body appears inside a mechanical visual system. The work remains conceptual.

Conceptual direction; physical construction has not begun.

Weight is the first design constraint, not a detail to estimate.

Construction

Construction

Conceptual only. A future first study may compare sparse chains, backed fields, and removable weighted panels.

Wear

Wear

Weight, joint clearance, abrasion, and sound remain hypothetical until a physical study exists.

Physical presence

No physical weight, panel, joint-clearance, or attachment test is currently verified.

Decision record

No physical failure record exists. The unresolved question is how real metal repetition might remain liftable and articulate around the body.

Handling and care

No physical object currently exists to preserve.
