Breathing Post
This kinetic sculpture is run by a turncrank at its base. As pedestrians turn the crank the horizontal arms above rise and fall, like breathing lungs, or flying wings. It lived from 2004-6 on the streets of downtown Lake Oswego,OR, and is now on long-term loan to The Art Center in Corvallis, OR.
