About Variation Fire

The Variation series is the result of my continued exploration in the world of kinetic pattering created by six overlapping wheels that orbit a common center. Each orbiting form is designed to hold a particular orientation by rotating in the opposite direction from its orbital motion.  I first "discovered" this kaleidoscopic effect in my sculpture calledRhapsody and took it a step further with Quark Cotillion. This time around I've found 3 different kaleidoscopic patterns that excite me and remind me of various elements of nature. I'm going to produce this sculpture as a series with a common mechanism but different kaleidoscopic patterning wheels. The series will start with three different designs, Variation-WindVariation-Stars and Variation-Fire. Each sculpture in the series will be individually numbered.

Variation-Fire reminded me of watching the flames dance and flicker in a campfire.
