About the Item
Artist Commentary:
This kinetic artwork is intended as a gently rotating, dimensional mandala. It has a baroque-upcycled aesthetic that playfully transcends the utility of the can-tab. Sparkling moiré patterns emerge as the artwork rotates slowly. One can experience the artwork as a sparkling, crystalline mystery from a distance, then as a familiar but incalculable marvel up close. Fun fact: it is powered by a disco ball motor
Keywords: kinetic art,sensory art, suspended art, upcycled, sparkling , metal
Details: A kinetic, sensory sculpture made from post-consumer can-tabs, safety pins, steel armature and ceiling mounted motor. 84"l x 44"w x 44"d x 40 lbs. rotates at 1 to 1-1/2 rpm
