Kinetic Sculpture: "The Evolution of Flora"

This sculpture was entirely hand formed and fabricated from just a few of the most basic steel elements, those being steel sheet, rod and pipe. Standing at about 11′ tall, as you move up the undulating trunk it diverges into two large branches. From these branches emerge a number of smaller branches that move outward and support both leaves and large “flowers” that also resemble propellers. From these branches, all of its “flower-pellers” spin, and its leaves flutter, in the slightest breeze, (as the “flower-pellers” are balanced and spin on bearings, and the leaves are hinged to their respective branches). At this writing, the piece is still available for purchase. Any interested parties can feel free to contact me at any time. I will post additional pictures and video of the piece when it is impermanently installed and in motion. Stay tuned.
