A visit to the Jean Tinguely exposition

A few artists inspire me,you can call them kindred spirits in a way.One of them is the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely,so I was delighted when there was an exposition of his works in Rotterdam.
He is best known for his sculptures made out of junk and scrap parts,which move at certain times and sometimes make sounds.
I was also pleased to see it drew many people of all ages.Of course children are always fascinated by colourful machines that move and make sounds.
It left the exposition inspired and with many new ideas,luckily I have lots of parts I kept and can be used to make something Tinguelyesque.
