Tapestry weaves intricate patterns of motion with the simplest mechanism I have designed. This is a refined version of the mechanism I first designed for the sculpture Wings. The off-balance wheels rotate in opposite directions until they lose their momentum and reverse direction. At this point a small, spring driven ratchet mechanism is engaged and starts the wheels spinning in opposite directions. The patterns of motion that result depend on the relative motion of the wheels just before they get their kick from the mechanism.
