Buford the polar bear is blowing bubbles again! He and his companion Beatrice the cellist are ready to return to home. It was quite fun working on these two. I think the makers were onto something, creating things that bring so much joy to the viewer. To me, the real value of these objects lies in the simple pleasure they produce. They bring people together in a way other objects can’t. All made with mechanisms based on clockwork from brass, steel, paper, string, fabric, and fur.
