George Rhoads
Illinois, New York,b.1926
The machine contains an intricately layered downward track with coils, cyclone forms, and xylophone-like middle section striking twenty-six cascading notes. Along it's path the ball strikes twelve metallic polychrome painted wind chimes of varied form with a large blue accent chime within the center of a cyclone. The sculpture is an early example of Rhoads' work predating any collaborative sculpture with Rockstream Studio or Creative Machines.
