ASTEROID Series
ASTEROID, a series of work Laurent completed in 2020 includes three Mobiles and two StabiloMobiles.
Inspired by a recent commission, the pieces all favor horizontal planes to vertical ones. The plates that form each piece are situated at varying angles, creating organic and fluctuating motion, with the color-gradient paint adding to the dynamics of the Mobiles.
Asteroid I, (28"h x 76"w x 76"d), Aluminum and Steel
Asteroid II, (22"h x 90"w x 96"d), Aluminum and Steel
Asteroid III, (23"h x 49"w x 52"d), Aluminum and Steel
Hot Spell (19.75"h 33"w 48"d), Aluminum and Steel
Standing Room Only, (36"h 40"w 40"d), Aluminum and Steel
Octave Above (23.75”h x 37"w x 44"d) Aluminum and Steel
Rock’a Doodle Dandy (15.75”h x 27"w x 28"d) Aluminum and Steel
Compact Disco (7”h x 20"w x 30"d) Aluminum and Steel
Mobiles look better when they move
Mobiles are better appreciated when seeing what they do best: move.
Their unique movements depend upon the unbalanced equilibrium of the plates, unmotivated by wind or physical energy.
