Andromeda

Andromeda was created for the Florida State Turnpike Authority Headquarters in Orlando and was awarded as a result of a National Competition.

Each of these six tall kinetic sculptures, featuring six points each, rotates around a vertical axis driven by wind. Their asymmetrical design enables an undulating motion. An internal cable system allows each sculpture to wind up and recoil, creating a dance-like movement. Positioned in two ponds, each approximately 130 feet square, the sculptures are arranged to resemble two colliding galaxies, a pattern prevalent in the Andromeda Constellation, which is known for its spectacular and expansive galaxy clusters. Engineered to withstand winds of up to 120 mph, these sculptures move gracefully even in the gentlest breeze.
