the picket sculptures of the Beatles work in good sync

Totally automated and mechanically pushed by hidden gears, every of the intricate kinetics sculpted by hand statuary captures the distinctive likeness of its musical counterpart. From John Lennon’s well-known spherical glasses to Ringo Starr’s iconic ‘mop prime’ coiffure, Bennan’s lifelike but illustrative sculptures are imbued with a playful sense of caprice.
A fragile and complicated mechanical system of gears and cogs hidden below a picket field rattles and winds to set the figures in movement. On prime of the platform, recreating their iconic stroll down Liverpool’s Abbey Street and their dwell efficiency on The Ed Sullivan Present in 1964, the (picket) Beatles rhythmically faucet their toes, pluck their devices and sing their songs in good sync with one another. .
