This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, the American sculptor who is best known for his innovative mobiles.
Through the years I have become particularly interested in kinetic sculptures and in creating gently moving graphical structures. Mobiles' appearance is always changing. They seem to have a life of their own and I find them fascinating to look at. As the mobile moves, the metallic shapes catch the ambient light in interesting ways. Intricate thin wire copper shapes add to the visual interest of the artwork.
This piece is titled: “Small Universe III” in reference to the stylised shapes resembling planets.
