My photo
For the last several years my sculptural work has become largely kinetic and interactive. It is often witty, profound and provocative. Much of it seems to exist in the realm of the unlikely. These days, my mind is in a whirl, trying to understand how to make very complicated things appear to be smooth, slow and coordinated.

HEY BOB and TWITTERING MACHINE




It just finally occurred to me that "Hey Bob, are you thee . . .?" carries such a strong resemblance to Paul Klee's 1922 image of "The Twittering Machine." I first saw this image at the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard in 1965. I often think of it and refer others to it, but until I took the outer shells of "Hey Bob" off and photographed it in motion I hadn't seen the connection between the two works. Duh !
