The Wind Sculptures™ undulating movements reflect the mood of the wind and generate joy. In groupings large or small the sculptures dance to the rhythms of nature. The works can be viewed from any angle, creating various patterns.

The kinetic shapes are bold and distinctive. With the changing nature of the wind, the sculptures move and interact with one another when placed in a grouping.

Some are spirited and dynamic while others are slow and elegant, but they never move too fast. Varying shapes and forms unveil themselves as one moves by or through the sculptures.

A casual glance at the sculptures will reveal a new form not previously noticed or predict what the weather has in store for the day.
