Steel, Mahogany, Fan motorsThese were fun and interestingly difficult to create. I constructed the two works in an improvisational manner, with nothing but a couple basic sketches to go by.Wood is a very unforgiving material when working under quick intuition. Metal, on the other hand, is endlessly workable. The top piece is a faux-generator. The working exercise bike "charges" the fan motor. The kinetics are achieved manually. The smaller piece vibrates do to a counterweight welded to the fan motor. It gently drifts as the bent laminated mahogany antlers buzz and hum.
