These still photographs don't do justice to the elegance and charm of this Tom Brewitz kinetic work. The fluid motion and gentle balance of the shapes promote a strong push-pull effect by contrasting the angular with the circular. Geometric blends are merged and formed in Square Circle Triangle Relationship.

With large circles and squares, the smaller triangle shapes get lost and seem to fade in. However, once the the work comes to rest, then the strength of the triangular element is revealed.

In the drawing, the stand design is shown with two views for us to study. To accomplish the accuracy needed to sustain long motion life, construction of this stand began with developing special milled frames (not shown). These frames helped hold the shafts in place and guide the welding process. Much effort is spent on the preparation long before the fabrication of the kinetic sculpture begins!
