Built with steel pipes salvaged from another sculpture project at Socrates Sculpture Park, Finnibar is the first work incorporating a large chunk of stone as a counterweight. With a name and concept loosely pulled from a Celtic myth involving the “largest bull of the land” and all kinds of bloodshed, it is the kinetic abstraction of a bull straining against the line. The stone was pulled from the East River by a construction company working on the storm drain system in Queens. They offered it along with the machines to move it around for a year.

Colossus was built for Burning Man in 2005. It stands nearly 70 feet tall. The three rocks, “head” and spires all spin by way of pull ropes. We recently installed it at Bay Area Maker Faire.

Hydrogen was commissioned for the Lindbergh City Center, a mixed-use development on the north side of Atlanta. Installed in 2004, the off-center ring balances a large stainless steel sail and a slab of granite. When the wind is right, the sail will make full circles.

Though technically the second Rockspinner, this one gets the title. Weighing somewhere in the 9 to 10 ton range, this stone is much larger than anything previously handled. To build it, we first built a large lifting rig and shipped it out to the desert, then brought in the rock, hung it and mounted it to the bearing.
