Hanging Mobile Art
Balanced Mobiles, Cincinnati, OH |

 |
SUSPENDED BALANCED MOBILES Two large mobiles, each hangs from one point. The balanced fabric sculpture is sculpted of stainless steel tubing, covered in light translucent border applique sewn fabric art. The large atrium art mobiles turn softly in interior currents, the banner fabric reacts to sun, moonlight, natural and interior lighting. The fabric art is kinetic, enhances the workplace design, and is architectural adornment.

The translucent banner cloth is attached to geometric shapes made of fiberglass and light weight stainless steel tubing. The total area size of the atrium hanging installation is 50 feet by 50 feet by 10 feet. The hanging art decorates the Graceland University cafeteria. The artist uses abstract design for this hanging installation which is playful and adds color and motion, animating the space and making a friendly environment.
