   • "We are a very proud owner of the Reflections piece, #20 of 75 in this collection. We have made it apart of our home, actually designing a space specifically for it at the entry of our home. It is always a point of interest from the young (that have fallen asleep watching the movement) to the older who are amazed at its "working" beauty. Thank you so much for the craftsmanship and beauty of this art." 4.7.09 C&A D.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about how much you enjoy Reflections. One of the joys we get is watching other people react to David's work.
Continue enjoying! Marji

Floating bird-like motions are becoming a common theme of mine. I'm fascinated by the way a horizontal form carried by two off-axis wheels evokes the feeling of flight.

In Reflections, I've taken advantage of a smaller, more compact drive mechanism I designed last year to create a piece with two independent "flying" motions. Each "bird" follows its own path of motion, randomly spiraling, hovering, or floating up and down or side to side. When the spirit moves them, the birds move together like a synchronized flying team. At other times they follow one another through a series of complex maneuvers and then totally lose it and do their own thing for a while!
