KINETIC EDITION

KINETIC EDITION

Seeking to create an edition of moveable parts, Metalepsis turned to the master of Kinetic Art and Abstraction for guidance. We were fascinated by Alexander Calder's sculptural stabiles (such as Laocoön and Little Parasite c.1947) that thread through themselves in a dynamic combination of strength and balance. We were also moved by the subtle kineticism of his mobiles while watching them move in the smallest air currents of the LACMA galleries. The Kinetic Edition re-works some of Calder's design principles into our own concepts of interlocking, moveable and uncommon forms.
