A timely correction

A Gordon Bradt original?

I have been told, by a reliable source, that the sculpture on the beach in Surfside I described as ‘whimsical’ is most likely a kinetic sculpture by Gordon Bradt of Kinetico Studios!

Judging by the footprints in the sand, it has been quite popular with our Spring Breakers this week.

 

The top spins one way (armed with copper post caps) and the bottom turns in the opposite direction, always at about the same speed regardless of the wind. It is intriguing and, I still maintain, whimsical!

How fabulous to have an artist-in-residence (occasionally) who would take the time to create a public sculpture designed to make us stop for a moment and smile!

I encourage you to visit his website and watch the video of his extraordinary clocks.
