Artist Statement
9 life-size, 3-dimensional wooden human figures per side, intrigued passerby at center sits recumbent and pedals, the flywheel turns, gentle swaying of arms and legs ensues in the figures. The further a figure is into the earth the more constrained the movement. Figures are genderless and mannequin-like and constructed with joints like marionettes, but anchored in line to train rail. All figures are solid wood, oiled deeply to resist weather.
