Titled Lunar Walk, this piece measures 10 1/2" x 13 3/4" x 9" and is made entirely of hand-formed and TIG-welded stainless steel. It is sized suitably for an office desktop or side table. The sculpture was created with a relaxed and contemplative feel in mind. The initial small spiral leads into interconnected track sections, each angled just slightly in order to maintain a slower pace and make the most of the marble's journey. Periodic drop-throughs punctuate the sculpture with moments of quick movement leading up to the pleasing swirl of the final large spiral. Even the marble, itself handmade, was chosen specifically to fit the needs and mood of this work.

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.
