Mobile (sculpture)

Mobile sculptures are sculptures that move when they are hanging or suspended in the air. They are sculptures that can turn or spin around, twirl, or sway. Imagine a mobile sculpture like a toy that you can hang above your bed that moves when the wind blows.

Mobile sculptures are made up of different shapes and sizes of objects that are connected together. They can be made from things like metal, wood, plastic or even feathers. These objects hang from different lengths of string, wire or fishing line that are tied or hung from a frame that holds the sculpture up.

The frame or base of a mobile sculpture can be made out of anything strong enough to hold the weight of the objects hanging from it, like a piece of wood or metal. The frame acts as the anchor to hold the sculpture in place while the objects move and sway.

When the sculpture moves, all of the different objects hanging from the sculpture respond and move differently. Some may rise, some may fall, some may spin or twirl. This movement can be caused by air currents, people, or even just by the sculpture's weight or balance.

Overall, mobile sculptures are unique works of art that can add movement and excitement to your room or environment.
