24″w X 26″h X 12″d – THREE tracks – chain lift

This well-proportioned rolling ball sculpture packs a lot of movement into its square stainless steel frame. Three tracks feature a loop-d-loop, tall narrow spiral, three sections of horizontal zig-zags, a ball-collecting tipping arm, a second tipping arm, a flat spiral, dips, fast curves and sweeping turns.


The second tipping arm plays an important role by spacing the marbles before they enter the zig-zag sections. Without enough separation, the marbles can catch one another on the sharp turns. At the bottom, all three tracks converge onto a flat steel plate and merge into a single return track leading back to the chain lift. The lift speed can be adjusted to change the overall pace of the sculpture.


The square frame allows the sculpture to be displayed on a tabletop or mounted directly to a wall.


Handmade from 100% stainless steel and TIG welded.
