Perpetual Motion is a minimalist object that loops. With a highly finished surface of glossy white polyester resin, this 16” x 14” wall relief features a diagram of a spinning circle that spins. Two arrows suggesting circular motion in a clockwise direction are transposed onto a mechanized disc that slowly spins clockwise continuously. Thus the representational converges with the actual, both co-existing to achieve a comforting redundancy rather than a sense of time. Optically, the slowly spinning circle also creates a subtle distortion of time and space. From further away, the spinning arrows appear to move so slowly they almost stop, depending on the precise vantage point. As the viewer moves closer, the movement of the disc appears more rapid.
