Three of our Marvels are captivating kinetic sculptures. In the Balance by Felix Rowberry is a towering, rotating sculpture that combines playfulness with storytelling and is designed to evoke thoughts on climate change and the burden placed on younger generations. The Flaming Daisy Chain by Mike Pattison is a kinetic spectacle with flower-like cogs that turn, pulling a chain through a paraffin-filled watering can. Marble Run by Bryan Tweddle is a giant game featuring cannonball-sized marbles that move around a metal structure with a sense of gravity-defying suspense.
Other Marvels in this series of installations include The Passage by Mary Reynolds, an angel candle-inspired display featuring a metallic nest of fire at its core. The heat causes a convention current, making the two skeletal birds move to circle the nest, provoking a sense of serenity and wonder. Finally, The Fire Bird by Richard Broderick is perched majestically atop a metallic stand, enchanting audiences with its dynamic movements.
