Contours

Contours was created in 2016 for Lyrical Partners and installed in their new offices in midtown New York. Inspired by natural movements, as well as a love of math, poetry, and craftsmanship, Contours contains over 70,000 individual parts that come together in one fluid movement. See www.reubenmargolin.com for more information.

I wish there were more artists like you. Not just making these kinetic wave sculptures, but showing off the math and engineering behind the movement by exposing the cams and pulleys. Great stuff as always.

This is ingenious and spectacularly beautiful. I feel like building a hammock and having a nice lie down. Brilliant work 🙂
