Moire animation sculpture

I was watching the cool moire patterns formed by the wire cage of my electric fan as it slowly pivoted back and forth. And I wondered if a cleverly designed wire cage could be made such that the moire patterns formed an animation of, for example, a person’s head slowly rotating. Any ideas?

       That's easy, just take a running lawnmower and drop it on my ex-wife's head.   

       Any volunteers?
