Kinetic Moving Desktop Office Art Steel Rolling Ball Sculpture
Trio, a rolling ball sculpture, measures 7 3/4" x 12 1/4" x 14" and is made entirely of TIG-welded stainless steel. All spirals were carefully hand-formed using no jigs or tools. The sculpture is sized suitably for an office desktop or side table. It is a pure study of spirals, displaying them in a composition that provides a relaxed yet energetic feel. The marble itself was even specially chosen to highlight the curves and turns of Trio. Please take a moment to examine it in action in the video section.

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.
