Thereby the #sculpture unexpectedly became a set of #tools to me, opening up playful possibilities.

Reuben Heyday Margolin is a kinetic artist. He makes moving art that is captivating and inventive. Pieces that almost seem to be alive.

This one, called Interlaced, “contains 180 pieces of wood, 2 electric motors and a lot of string. It’s almost 2D, measuring 4’ wide and 7’ tall. 2 distinct waveforms pass through each other and are driven by an overhead flat weave.”
