This animated work presents a unique method to identify and understand basic moral issues. It shows a large machine that looks into emotional conflict much like a telescope looks into deep space. The machine is too big for the room, but it needs size and precision for such a difficult task. It doesn’t need to be made from brass, but anything worth doing, is worth doling right.

Turn a handle here and make an adjustment there and the answer will come into focus. I love old machines that were built with pride and patience.

A child of the ‘50s, I grew up with black and white television sets like this one. If you did also, you will recognize the little white dot in the center of the screen.
