New Modern Mobiles

Time to add the new images of the acrylic glass mobiles to the collage. Looks pretty good together I think. Still considering that postcard …

You can see more of my mobiles in the art mobile section …

I’m always a little unsure about calling my mobiles “modern”. Modern as in abstract sure, and obviously Alexander Calder’s mobiles were modern. But “modern” really means artistic works made between the 1860s and 1970s. Modernism? Maybe contemporary? Post-modern? Are we in post-post-modern yet?

Four new acrylic glass mobiles

Each element in these mobiles can rotate independently full circle.

The circular discs are made of transparent acrylic glass (also known as transparent plexi glass), a type of plastic that looks like glass but does not break.

These mobiles create moving colored circles on the floor, wall or ceiling when a spotlight is pointed at it.

They are only 12 inches / 31 cm tall which makes them ideal for standard 8 foot / 2.4 meter ceilings.

To see more of my mobiles please go to the mobile section.

3 new (unfinished) tracks

Made a custom soundtrack for two promotional videos for the University of Toronto’s Summer Abroad Program. The (unfinished) tracks from it are on Bandcamp (set to free download).
