Sculptures In Progress

Because I’ve not been working on a heavily-engineered kinetic or high-voltage stuff lately I’ve returned to an earlier style of working. I’m spending more time improvising and letting the sculpture tell me what it wants to be. I’m also spending time working on several pieces throughout the day letting my attention wander between them.

I’ve been playing around with some really nice stainless tube and wire the past few days. This originally started as abstract, organic sculpture but now I think I’m going to attach it to this stainless container and turn it into a planter of some kind. I’m going to try and find a plant that will grow and climb all over the twisty bits. I can also use the tube to create a watering system.

I love the reflection on the container.

This one is going to be kinetic. When the shaft spins the blades will pivot up. I’m going to add to this so that its shape changes, and new actions become engaged as the blades rises. Not sure if it will be hand powered or motor powered.

Not sure what these are at all yet. They are all stainless and silicone bronze. Remind me of flowers. I’d never set out to make flowers. This might be minimal kinetic — perhaps as a mobile of some kind.
