MOVING OBELISK

Clear Lucite prism balanced on stainless steel gimbals, reflected light.

16in.h x 5in.w x 3in. d

I pay tribute to George Rickey whose work explores knife-edge pivots, gimbals and pendulum motion. The elliptical gimbals move the prism in conical motion. Placed in direct natural light it creates patterns of spectrums reflected.

The sculpture was awarded 1 st prize in the International Kinetic Artists Competition of 2015.
