PDA Woodwork’s Interactive Kinetic Wheel Sculptures
Meditative Art…Simple, yet Complex No Motors, No Gears, No Pulleys or Strings. These sculptures are designed to engage the viewer/user. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. Spin slowly from the center. The wheels are unpredictable, and will turn back and forth. Creating an array of magical shapes, patterns, and illusions..Simple, yet complex, this sculpture is meditative in nature, designed to captivate and mesmerize the viewer. Our goal is to provide an interactive artistic experience. We strive to create something unique, engaging, and inspiring. In a world where there is so much art to “look at,” We want to create something you can touch and interact with, art that you can be a part of. These installations are hands on for all ages to touch and spin at their leisure. Art doesn’t always need some “deep meaning.” We are here to make fun, beautiful art.

The Electric Dandelions are giant steel and acrylic sculptures that represent a dandelion flower during the day and come to life at night as an endless firework display. The 28 ft tall dandelion sculptures have a beautiful and elegant design to them. Their spherical shape is attributed to the geodesic sphere that lies at the heart of the Dandelion. Forty one light tubes crop out from the vertices. At Night, the geometric dandelion sculptures come to life at night as the LED animations take hold and mesmerize you with their bright and intense endless firework display.
