www.woodthatworks.com This kinetic sculpture is a combination of a pair of my smaller sculptures called White Water. I rotated and stacked them to create a tall narrow sculpture reminiscent of a water fall. Marji shot new ...

www.woodthatworks.com This kinetic sculpture uses two of my White Water sculptures nested together to create a new series of random swirling patterns that reminds me of crashing waves or tumbling snow. I created it in 2010...

www.woodthatworks.com Aperture is a limited edition kinetic sculpture I created in 1993. It uses two drive mechanisms that work together to power three eccentric forms in a random dance.

These are historic examples of sculptures that could only be powered by springs. See the whole story at http://www.woodthatworks.co...

http://www.woodthatworks.com Tumbleweed was one of the last sculptures I designed in 1976. I was looking for a way to create more rotations of the "pendulum" wheel before reversing.

http://www.woodthatworks.com This is the first design I built with shifting optical patterns. Each wheel is controlled by its own mechanism and runs at a slightly different speed. The phase of the wheels shift over time ch...

www.woodthatworks.com This is one of my favorite floating motion or "bird" sculptures. I started the edition of 150 in 1989 and completed it several years later.

http://www.woodthatworks.com This is the 3rd wall sculpture I designed. In this piece I used a rolling wheel rather than the rotating wheel I used in the breakthrough piece, Inventor Released. The escapement is the same co...

http://www.woodthatworks.com I built this piece in 1976. It is the first wall mounted kinetic sculpture that I designed and built that worked. I only made one of these that worked consistently. It is a very crude and fussy...

http://www.woodthatworks.com In 1976 I explored many different methods of controlling the fall of a weight while producing interesting motion. This was one of the more inefficient ones to build and run but it is fun to wat...
