Beauty In Motion

Winner of the People's Choice 2009 Sculptures By The Sea, Phil Price creates kinetic sculptures that utilise the wind's energy to come alive. The main body is made from carbon fibre, epoxy fibre and steel which is hand laminated and painted, with fully sealed rolling element bearing systems to create the silky smooth movement in the joints. All his sculputres are designed to withstand the elements and of vandal proof design. The gentle curves of the sculpture juxtapose as if a dancer striking graceful poses, pausing momentarily between gusts of wind.
