Copper / Steel
20½”H x 57”W x 26”D
A sleek and graceful steel swoop provides an artful base for this “lever”-style pendulum swing mobile. Part of a mini-tabletop series of replicas based on designs created for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it’s perfect indoors or out. Contemporary-art piece requires a delicate and complex design and balancing process yet holds its shape through strong winds. Completely hand-crafted, with patinated, polished-copper fins (including an arrow shape piercing a hoop) are crimpedonto stainless wire cantilevers.
$650
As a visual artist who was educated first in math and physics, Bud prefers to explore the analytical side of the art world. He’s interested in the relationship between form and function and drawn to investigate the various connections linking graphic elements, the applied science of simple machines, and the inspiration of the natural world. Bud uses the term “graphic abstraction”, with a concentrated focus on physics, to describe his conceptual process. His work engages questions about how we understand the world in which we live. Bud and his wife, Ursula, have extensively studied the work of Alexander Calder, an American artist who changed the course of modern art by developing an innovative method of sculpting, bending, and twisting wire to create 3D “drawings in space”. [Source: www.artsy.net] Because of Bud’s knowledge of the Calder Method and his respect for Alexander Calder (a native Philadelphian), Bud’s pieces have been shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Copper / Steel
50”H x 40”W x 15”D
A dynamic, sickle-shaped cantilever sits atop its own pendulum swing to rock and sway in the wind while the steel, double-column base ensures stability. Copper components are acid-washed to bring out their natural, green-hued patina. The self-sealing COR-TEN steel forms a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to weather over time, creating a wonderful, no-maintenance work of art. Whimsical, leaf-like fins float and dance delicately on stainless wire cantilevers. Moves easily in the wind―great for indoors or out.

Copper / Steel
50”H x 40”W x 15”D
One of the artist’s most technical compound-pendulum swing designs, this modern marvel defies logic with its downward-arching cantilever on top. This one-of-a-kind freeform design is exceptional in its complexity of design and in the pure, simple pleasure it yields to the viewer. Mobile features an amazing seven points of contact thanks to an integral fulcrum (pivot point) keeping it all in balance, yet nothing is welded except where the pendulum sits. Angle can be adjusted simply by moving the circular weight through a series of pilot holes in the cantilever. Perfect for home or garden, it’s easy to move yet quite stable wherever placed. Includes stand.
