Guinevere was created for the Harbourfront Duct Tape Challenge in 2001. She won the grand prize for the competition. The Jury did not know that Guinevere was a fully functional automata duct tape sculpture until the artist showed the work to her friend at the awards ceremony. She is presently owned by Manco and hopefully, she still exists in their duct tape museum.

When Guinevere's crank turns, her head bobs her arms turn and her feet tap on a hollow board creating a tap dance of her own.
