One of our own made the news

Not sure if @ccurran is still around, it’s been two years, but this just hit my radar:

Kinetic Flowers Grow from a Deteriorated Landscape in an Otherworldly...

If this looks familiar, go in the wayback machine to this:

Large sculptural commission

Made with laser cut aluminum, Dura-lar, and brass wire, the sculpture is 11’ x 5’ and comes off the wall about 16" with a single motor propelling the whole contraption. Follow the link to see the sculpture in action. [image1] [image2]

and this:

Full scale human sculpture

Here’s a sculpture of a full size human figure hanging is space with a kinetic garden growing out of it’s back. Composed of thousands of dura-lar components there’s a small motor housed in the chest cavity that activates the opening and closing of the flowers. Needless to say this was hundreds of hours of work. Hope you like it [IMG_0377] [IMG_0375] [IMG_0381] video link

and this:

Kinetic garden suspended in a wooden scaffold

I just wanted to share this sculpture I was able to complete with the help of my glowforge. All the kinetic foliage is laser cut duralar. Follow the link to see the piece in action https://vimeo.com/309766829 [IMG_2987] [IMG_2986] [IMG_2985]

Can’t go wrong with any of it:

Call this a distributed #necrogame too.

Thank you for creating!! This is a beautiful installation and I wish I could get to Seattle to see it in person as I know it would be spiritually uplifting.

Hee - laser burn!

Those things are even more studding en masse. I love how they look, and seeing them move is just entrancing.
