Box by D. Hooker (part 3)

3D Model

D. Hooker began creating interactive artwork based on a child’s toy found at a flea market in Switzerland. It was a story painted on a block of wood. As you turned the blocks, the story unfolded. Hooker switched to cigar boxes because they were lightweight. “I could even put secret messages or sounds in them.”
