Dimensions variable.  Blue lights, electric fan, mylar, wire.



       Head in the Clouds  was an kinetic installation at International House Philadelphia, January though March 2009.    The central hanging piece was  propelled by the continuous flow  of air from the large fan below.   The upward moving air pushed the marge mylar  rotor blades forwards , spinning the sculpture counterclockwise.   The forward movement , in turn,  spun the smaller propellers and scattered reflected blue light across the room.
