Tectonic Model is made from a number of leather bound books piled up in different formations that resemble architecture on top of a sawhorse desk. Tiny cranes of about ten centimetres in height are attached to the top of the books, which have their tassels laid out. The intricately balanced arrangements, with some books standing free and upright, gives the impression that the cranes might have stacked the books themselves by lifting the tassels. It is as though an autonomous, self-regulating system created and animated itself without human intervention atop the desk.
