WRING 2010
Stainless steel, polycarbonate, fasteners, electronic components, motors, sensors
Dimensions variable
Five identical units cling to steel poles throughout an area of bushland. Each unit comprises eight rods hanging in a cylindrical form. A small cam controls the motion of each, causing the steel rods to twist, creating vortices in seemingly random patterns. Each unit also responds to viewers by speeding up as they approach.
WRING was exhibited as part of the McClelland Sculpture Survey 2010, and remains on exhibition at McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park.
