Inspired by the playful art of Alexander Calder, this delicate handmade kinetic sculpture is beguiling in its simplicity. Each mobile is inspired by the natural world and the underlying patterns and elements both seen and unseen. These biomorphic shapes are cut from brass sheet and the edges softened and shaped. Every mobile is carefully assembled with brass wire and balanced by hand. When animated by air currents the mobile dances in a pattern of elegant motion through its articulated design. They are designed to be equally pleasing to behold when motionless and are born from the principles of sacred geometry and equilibrium.
