Manifestation I
By Virginia Fleck
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary:
This artwork is intended as a gently rotating, dimensional mandala. It has a baroque-upcycled aesthetic that playfully transcends the utility of the can-tab. The shape recalls a chandelier or and upside-down layer cake. Sparkling moiré patterns emerge in the hanging chains as viewers circumnavigate the art. One can experience the artwork as a sparkling, crystalline mystery from a distance, then as
a familiar but incalculable marvel up close.
Keywords: kinetic art, suspended art, upcycled, sparkling , metal
Details: A kinetic, sensory sculpture made from post-consumer can-tabs, safety pins, steel armature and ceiling mounted motor. 84"l x 55"w x 55"d. 65 lbs. rotates at 1 to 1-1/2 rpm
