Vezha II (tower), Rolling Ball Sculpture, is the 2nd sculpture of this style that I've done. It is a bit of a dream or perhaps somewhat of a fantasy. Just like Vezha, it's little brother, when Vezha II is running quickly, it reminds you of controlled chaos with marbles running all different ways, grouping together and returning for another trip. Running slowly, it has a more meditative quality, as the marbles each know their own path and make their solo journeys as planned.
Some of the coolest things about Vezha II are the flag that raises and the big "eye" that turns, both activated by falling marbles.
This sculpture would hold pride-of-place in many rooms and, ideally, it should be displayed so that a viewer can see it from at least 3 sides.
As with all my sculptures, the name, date of its creation and my signature are located on the bottom.
Stainless steel.
7/8" glass marbles.
