About the Artist Behind Objects In Motion – Handcrafted Rolling Ball Sculptures
Robert’s Rolling Ball Sculptures live at the intersection between the visually pleasing and the technically possible, showcasing the beauty of objects in motion. He works primarily in stainless steel, sometimes wood, as well as in repurposed or found objects.​
As an antidote to our sometimes chaotic lives and the world outside of our control, Robert’s Rolling Ball Sculptures create order and beauty out of moving objects that work in harmony together. The observer comes to the understanding that everything is where it needs to be and the apparent problems do in fact resolve themselves. By observing the movements, there grows a trust that all the pieces somehow work together, even if it’s in ways that we don’t understand at first. Truly, Robert’s work is a metaphor, perhaps just in some small way, for the lives we live - a little chaotic, but indeed beautiful through time.​
Although his rolling ball sculptures are designed and constructed using the serious forces of gravity and friction, there is a healthy component of playfulness included throughout each piece. Robert’s work has been described as mesmerizing, relaxing, imaginative, and inspiring.
For those looking to own a piece of this unique art, you can have something custom-designed and built for your home, office or public space.
The Artist
Since childhood, Robert has been enthralled by the beauty in design and the intricacies of mechanisms. He has been designing and creating in wood, metal, clay and stone most of his life. He gained an appreciation for beauty in nature while growing up on the West Coast of Canada. Since then, he has lived, studied, and worked in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada), in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Poland), and now lives and creates near the Rocky Mountains in the Bow River Valley in the beautiful Town of Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
