| KINETIC METAL SCULPTURE by John M. Schwab |
These original motorized metal
artworks (kinetic sculptures) by John
M. Schwab provide a whimsical look
at the "inner workings" of various
critters and contrivances as perceived
by the artist.
The kinetic metal sculptures shown in
this collection are normally in a
"static" state, with animation of the
artwork being controlled by the
observer. This typically occurs
through the use of a push button
switch or insertion of a coin which
energizes the artwork. The time that
the sculpture is in motion is generally
about a minute or so, often regulated
by an electronic timer.

In each piece, a disguised electric motor provides mechanical movements of various and numerous
parts within the work, all of which appear to have been set in motion by a "Little Man" (or several)
who try very hard in their attempt to bring life and flight to their subjects!
