Collaborative public art project

This twenty foot high interactive public artwork is inspired by the invention and symbolism of the “wheel,” the most important mechanical invention in history. Nearly every machine built since the Industrial Revolution involves the wheel such as carnival rides, spools, clocks, automobiles, jet engines, computer disk drives). In its simplicity, the wheel moves us towards something magical that can move us to think, dream, hope, and imagine.
