Phenakistoscope - Animals Evolving

The ability to control the lighting plays an important role in the results of the phenakistoscope.

I wanted to have the ability to remove each triangular section of the phenakistoscope so that I could paint them and reattach them. Each section was primed and velcro tabs glued on, then painted and replaced onto the corresponding velcro tabs that had been glued onto a backing sheet of hardboard that was glued onto the styrofoam cylinder. The theme is animals evolving into a robotic form of animals.
