Initially commissioned by David Bermant Foundation: Color, Light, Motion
for traveling exhibitions.
My first wind-driven sculpture featured 6 points of movement. Wayne La Pierre
and I began our collaboration together by fabricating my design into its winged
prism shapes. Joe Welch, a mechanical engineer assisted us in the development of
the interior fittings required to allow the sculptural elements to balance and move
freely.
The sculpture was also displayed at the Elaine Benson Gallery in Bridgehampton,
NY until 2006.
