We have a special wall in our home where I experiment with large one-of-a-kind sculptures. This is my fourth design for this space and my most ambitious. The wall is 14 feet high. The sculpture has five independent patterning wheels and a triple drive system to give it the extended run time of 21 hours. Falling Water makes a pleasantly random soft clicking sound that you have to listen for but it accompanies the motion nicely. You can read more about Falling Water and see additional photos on my blog. (this will open a new window)

• "I am mechanical engineer and patent attorney in Los Angeles, and someone who really enjoys working mechanisms, from motorcycles, which I collect, to old piston steam engines, to rolling ball sculpture, etc. I came upon your art for the first time today after looking around at Babbage engine literature and then kinetic sculpture. Your work is so elegant, smooth, and beautiful. So very impressive. I plan to explore your art more" - 10-14-2009 - GH, California
