Large Mobiles
-
 Over the past 30 years I have realized large versions of smaller mobiles for lobbies, stairwells and public display areas. Collectors have wished large versions of mobiles for their homes. The designs, engineering, and aethetics have to change, and the finished product has more majesty than the small versions.
My mobiles are for indoors. Large Mobiles for me are bigger than 7 feet, and go up to 12 feet long. They usually weigh less than 50 pounds, making them easy to hang, and lightness encourages the gentle movement from the indoor air currents.

Large Red Double Pans Mobile. 2005
I began making Double Pans mobiles in 1995, and have made them in various sizes from 24" up to 60". The materials have varied: stainless, copper, painted galvanized sheet metal.

Liquid Cube Mobile. 1976
This is the oldest mobile on the site. It was a successful investigation of a wire sculpture that did not depend on Alexander Calder style. A break-out of independence for me.

Single Wave Mobile. 2001

The individual elements are for sale, and inquire regarding larger combinations. Stainless Steel sheet & wire. 72" long, 36" wide, 18" Tall. $1,800.00 |
Abstract Waterfall Mobile. 2007

Design Shapes Mobile 2006.
This was an interesting contract: I was contacted by the client in London. They had the shapes and wished a mobile made from them. The shapes were computer-cut Formica sandwiches printed on both sides, and very light weight. The client had a drawing of what the mobile was to look like. They sent the pieces to me in California. I made the mobile, and shipped it back for the exhibition. Printed, Cut Formica, stainless steel wires. 12 ft diameter, 6 ft tall. NFS |
