THREE BALLS ON A STRING
©1997
Hanging Element: 8 feet long x 12 ft. x 12 ft.. Floor Consul: 3 feet x 2 ft. x 2 ft.
Created as a Numbered Edition
An example is currently in the collection of the Artist
Three lightweight balls hang in-line on a single string attached to a motor. A switch mounted on a dashboard of a floor consul controls the speed of the motor.
The balls arrange into several distinct formations as the motor changes speed. The transition periods between the stable formations seems almost magical.
