This blog is dedicated to the art of balanced sculptures. More specifically, mobiles.
This mobile has been sold and is hanging in a home in Iowa.
We call this mobile The Red Chair. It started with the 3 white vintage handmade chairs. They arrived with something else I purchased in an auction on-line. They had a wonderful feel to them. I knew as soon as I touched them they were destined for an art piece of some kind. I did not know what though. After they spent some time on the shelf in the studio, I started seeing them with worn paint. They were painted a very solid cream white. I got out my sanding blocks and went to work. I did not sand them all the same. They were all 'worn' differently.
Then I found the red chair, which was not red, but orange. It was then that it all clicked. I saw the chairs, floating in the air. I saw the orange chair as a red chair- and painted it red. I combed through one of my 'make it' boxes and found some other tiny chairs.
Chance hung these in such a way that the chairs do indeed float. The mobile moves easily and is continuously a joy to observe.
