Folds & Blue Bellies

If you have ever worked with sheet metal, viewing this kinetic sculpture has stirred your memories. I first experienced similar sound effects as a child when my Uncle T demonstrated the musical inclinations of the hand saw. These sounds also stimulate my memories of stacking and moving sheet metal as I worked for a HVAC company. More fondly are my memories of the sounds I discovered when lifting sheet metal to uncover blue belly lizards. Many hours of my childhood were spent hunting blue bellies!
The distinct folds and movements of this sculpture are equally stimulating. I view this work as portraying two distinct forms, but I acknowledge the fact that it is made of a single piece of metal.
The oscillating movements and unseen vibrations that move between the distinct folds are as mesmerizing to me as they were when I was child.
To my perception, this sculpture communicates associates of individuals and their connectedness. Although autonomously distinct, humans are connected to each other in a variety of ways.  It is not always clear how their connectedness effect their individual movements/actions and the consequential-outcome of their interactions.
Although others may find the noise of this sculpture dissatisfying, I find this sculpture to be a huge success!
