Monarch Chrysalis • A New Kinetic Sculpture
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 3:50PM
David just released the video and photographs of his second new sculpture edition for 2012. It is the birth of a butterfly, not because David designed a butterfly, but because that is what viewers see now that it is a reality. People often "see" things represented in David's work.
Check out the YouTube video to see the motion of this mesmerizing kinetic sculpture.
In this design, David decided to make the mechanism very visible. He opened up the front and put all the parts right there for you to see. Those of you that have been studying David's work for years can really observe an escapement mechanism in action in this design.

David..
Do you use magnets in your Monarch 2 mechanism ??
I designed and cut out a few "butterfly shaped pawls on my CNC Router and wondered if you
use Magnets to move them into and out of position in the sculpture ??
