WoodRiver™ Timeless movement art

Looking for a great gift for your loved ones or yourself? 

These three types of kinetic sculptures are your answer!
It moves with the wind and balances the negative and positive energies of your space.
Helps you focus or meditate. It simply looks stunning.

Style 1 Vice Versa
I played with the number of spokes, their thickness, and their angle to each other. Ultimately, I found a design that would work both visually and dynamically. I tested the patterning by creating an animation of the design in motion. Of course, the real test was actually creating the design. My first attempt wasn’t quite right yet. It was still too unbalanced. I adjusted the design and refined my center point calculation to locate the exact point more precisely. The second attempt worked as I had hoped.



One half of the pattern shows collapsing fans, while the opposite half expands. Once this becomes recognizable, everything is swept away in a blink pattern. The constantly changing rotation speeds combined with this pattern create a piece that I find hard to look away from.

Style 2 Duality
When designing a kinetic sculpture, many different types of balance must be considered. This was especially true for Duality.


More complex patterned wheels generally require more restrictive movement than less complex wheels to prevent the sculpture from becoming visual chaos. In my opinion, Duality has a more complex asymmetrical wheel design. To fully understand the generated patterns, the mechanism must move the wheels in a more predictable way. Alternatively, a sculpture like Infinity has symmetrical wheels, so I used a more random and unpredictable mechanism to move them. After designing the wheel for Duality, I had to experiment with the different movements I could create to determine the most visually exciting combination. Once I achieved this pattern balance, I had a sculpture!




Style 3 Boomerang
Boomerang is a great gift for your family and art lovers.


This is a majestic and fascinating moving wall sculpture powered by kinetic energy. After winding it up, the internal spring and gears work together to rotate the front and rear wheels forward and backward in different patterns for up to 14 hours.

How do they move

Hamster! Not really. Each of my kinetic sculptures is a wooden machine powered by a constant force spring that needs to be wound up. While they are visually interesting sculptures at rest, they become truly fascinating when in motion. After a simple winding, they entertain with movement and gentle sounds for varying durations. Longer run times have always been a goal. Some run for 1.5 hours, while others keep moving for up to 24 hours! This is a significant improvement over my original designs, which stopped after 20 minutes.
