The Oculist’s Porthole

The old parts were given new life as they interwove with handcrafted woodwork.  The wooden gears are all made from domestic hardwoods, and nearly 3000 teeth were Cut and Shaped by hand. The process of turning this historic brewery salvage into functional kinetic sculpture made it what it is today — a Relevant and Reverent Ode to the craft process and to Milwaukee’s rich brewing History.
