KINETIC SCULPTURE

Mayfield’s Raven , c.1998 Clockworks move eyes, head and wings.

Arizona Jumping Cactus C ardboard, paper, proximity sensor, motor, pebbles.

Talking Tut, intaglio, corrugated cardboard, gold leaf, lucite, excelsior.

Kasuga , clockworks, painted and gilded basswood. Squares align every quarter hour creating circles of varying sizes. Back in the day, small battery clock movements ticked audibly. I noticed that unique rhythms were constantly being created. This a

Kasuga , see previous. Intermediate state.

Kasuga , another aligned state.

Pubic Lyre, rattan, paper, wood, pendulum clockworks. Integral dampers on each of 12 clockworks allowed the pendulums to strike tines every hour in ever-changing rhythms. Destroyed.

Chameleon, copper, electric motor, painted beads, wood. Beads were half-painted; an intricate system of levers and pulleys moved the beads in a preset pattern while the man occasionally pounded the restraining ‘stake.’ Far too complex to function

Autocross W ood, timers and motors. Affixed objects play in turn starting with an unseen heartbeat.

#100 Wood, timer, monofilament. Each play produces different rhythmic results.

Untitled, turned, carved and painted wood. Open the hatch, turn a crank, the figure rolls eyes and sticks out tongue.

Komodo (pull toy), carved and painted wood with pull cord. When pulled the jaws snap, feet move, and tail moves side to side… but mainly it’s a gorgeous paint job, more Gila Monster than dragon. More at this link
