Dyad Kinetic Sculpture
Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at 1:34PM
I built Dyad in 1986 when was experimenting with small freestanding sculptures and random motion. This is a small piece standing about 13 inches tall. It has two independent mechanisms each with its own spring and winder. Each mechanism contributes part of its momentum to the common base motion creating a jerky back and forth rotation. The sculpture only runs for about 30 minutes which was pretty typical for my small sculptures of that time period.

I am intrigued by your progress through the early years as one piece lead to another to bring you where you are today. You have certainly stayed true in your discovery of constant force springs as your source of momentum in your art. You have many facinating designs that come to life all due to one amazing and yet simple discovery that you have refined to allow your art to move longer and be larger in size.
