24" Fire and Ice Kinetic Sculpture

Fire and Ice

Melissa's second kinetic wood sculpture has a steampunk influence and was designed to provide a 3D look as the two wheels rotate in counter rotating directions. This design is more complex and features eight inset circles between the spokes. Similar to other designs, it is driven by a constant torque spring motor. Wind it up and enjoy a random fascinating relaxing effect for your soul. The Fire and Ice sculpture is available in 24” diameter.

Circle of Inspiration

One of Melissa’s first kinetic sculpture features two three-dimensional rotating wheels that change motion speed and direction at random times. It is driven by a constant torque spring motor. Wind it up and enjoy the random hypnotic motion like watching random sea waves lapping the shoreline.
