Wall Hanging Kinetic Stainless Steel Rolling Ball Sculpture
This project is a wall mounted piece made entirely of welded stainless steel. The track is made of 1/8", the frame of 1/4" rod. A small section of perforated stainless sheet is employed as a catch mechanism near the track switch. Eight glass 1" marbles are loaded on the topmost track and their release is governed by a hand-operated gate. The single track is split into two tracks just inches from the gate and four marbles are sent down each of the two tracks interacting with various loops, turns, spirals and flips until they reach the bottom and come to rest. This sculpture is suitable for home or office use and mounts to the wall using ordinary screws set through pre-drilled holes in the feet of the sculpture.

I am a kinetic sculptor working in the unique branch of art called rolling ball sculpture. Using mainly plain steel and/or stainless steel, I create works of art that are both fascinating to behold and fun to watch in operation. Rolling media moves along tracks that I design and create, during its travel the media interacts with various objects such as loops, curves, switches, chimes, tubes, stair steps, funnels, spirals, tipping arms - you name it, I can likely incorporate it into a sculpture! They make great additions to home or office and can function as wonderful conversation starters or excellent diversions in situations where people need something to take their minds off events at hand. My aim is to provide both fun and fascination in my art and thereby make the world a little better place.
