Beta Series
These are compound mobiles in the Beta series. The Betas are distinct in that varying number of mobiles are all anchored to a common frame. This format then takes on a different character and can even become representative. This is probably the most technical of my designs.. Minimum size: 36" diameter to 20'

Steve Haas
Steven Haas mobiles and sculpture
I made my first mobile in my high school art class with Caulder as my reference. (which surprises no one) I continued to make them casually for a number of years with the idea percolating of a style of mobile I believe to be unique. I bought tools that allowed me to make tools that allow me find balance points on vertical surfaces and began experimenting with what I could do with it.
Now, years later I have had the good fortune to have been collected all over the USA as well as internationally I have also been privileged to be commissioned by corporate and public large scale projects.
A number of years ago I decided a break from making mobiles was in order and started making closed form fabricated sculpture in bronze, stainless steel and mostly, aluminum. These naturally took me off in other directions. I have made static and kinetic outdoor pieces as high as 17'
