Vending Machine Art

I purchased an old gumball machine and, after some tinkering with the mechanism, altered it so that only balls of a certain size could fall into the bottom chamber when the handle was turned. It seemed like a good analogy to the separation of the sheep from the goats at the Final Judgment (Matthew 25:31-33) and was an especially apt use for a vending machine having VICTOR as its tradename.  Painting the wooden balls with acrylics completed the piece, the details of which are unfortunately rather hard to see in a photographic reproduction.
