Kinetic Sculpture

Sculpture: Stainless Steel with a Basalt Stone

15.6"h x 10"d x 6.4"w

Base: Granite

10" x 14" x .7"

A rocker made from an eye shaped plate with kickstand supports a pendulum. The pendulum is a rod with a fixed stone weight at one end, an eye shaped rod counterweight at the other. There is a counterweight on the rockers mast that can be moved to change the rockers frequency. As the rocker and pendulum move, the energy of these elements cycles between kinetic and potential forms and is transferred between the pendulum and rocker. Since their periods of motion are not equal, there is an interesting pattern of motion as one catches up to, then passes the other. changing the counterweights position, changes the rocker frequency, and thus changes the pattern of motion of the sculpture. The granite base is carved to allow the pendulum to swing below its surface.
