DESCRIPTION:

 TWIST is a kinetic sculpture which is designed for the outdoors, where it literally dances with the wind.

 DESIGN:

Five rings and ball elements create a swaying and undulating ever-changing shape! As the wind pushes on the ring elements, they begin to tilt away from the wind, only to be swing back by the weight of the connected ball.

 This back and forth motion, at different degrees and speeds and different angles for all the 5 segments, shows the sculpture “dancing” with the wind in gracefully swinging motions.

SIZE:
The size can easily be scaled from 6ft(2m) to 30ft(10m). Larger sizes are possible, but require more extensive engineering.

MATERIALS: 
This kinetic sculpture can be fabricated from a variety of materials, with a large range of weight and cost:

So far it has been built in Stainless Steel, brushed or polished or automotive color painted. This is the most durable and saltwater resistant, but also the most expensive and heavy material.
