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.
