Ebb and Flow Outdoor Kinetic Sculpture

Nominee
This outdoor sculpture breaks the rules of mobiles, and obeys the laws of physics. It uses the principle of the torsion pendulum and tiers of balanced weights to store energy in tiny stainless steel threads and dissipate it slowly. The stones float gracefully back and forth in their endless dance with the elements, even without apparent wind. The structure is nearly invisible, creating the effect of stones that are elegantly buoyant and gliding through space.

Sustainability

To keep our beaches and forests as they are, Anne and Arra “plant” anew quarry stone in the water to replace each one gathered, and plantten times the number of trees harvested each year.

Pricing

Wholesale $360 for 2, $290 for 4

We gather stones from private rivers and beaches, with permission. When a stone is collected, we want to make sure there will always be a replacement for future gatherers. So for each one harvested, a new stone (purchased from a quarry) is planted in the water. Over the years, the water tumbles the rough ‘seed' into a smooth, rounded stone. In the same spirit, hardwoods are supplied by responsible sawyers committed to conservation and the future of our forests. We also plant 10 times the number of trees we use each year for our backplates. Bringing natural materials indoors as functional art keeps all of us in harmony with Mother Earth.
