About Mingle
This sculpture combines two distinct patterning concepts, resulting in a unique and captivating design. While both of these patterns have appeared in my previous sculptures, I have never before combined them into a single 'patterning wheel'. The inspiration for this piece was serendipitous, as I was experimenting with nested arc patterns and decided to add a fan shape to see what would happen. I quickly sketched and animated some initial designs, and was excited by the results.
Over the course of several months, I explored many different combinations of the two forms, with the goal of achieving both physical balance and visual harmony. After building numerous prototypes with wheels of different sizes and mechanisms, I eventually settled on the current design, which I feel achieves the perfect balance between the two patterns.
As an artist, I find the mixture of optical patterns within the same sculpture to be particularly fascinating. The interplay between the two patterns creates a dynamic visual experience that keeps the eye and mind engaged. I hope that viewers will also find the piece to be engaging and enjoyable.
About the Sound:
The sculpture will make 1 soft click per revolution and a somewhat louder click periodically when the mechanism pushes the wheels.
