Wind-driven kinetic sculpture
My name is David Boyer and as you know I make kinetic wind sculptures. My wind sculpture explorations began in the late 1990’s, almost by accident. As an offshoot of my love for Northern Nevada, I started making art out of old metals and artifacts I would find in the desert. One of the first tinkered together art pieces was a wind-driven “spinner”. That first wind sculpture was so mesmerizing that I just kept building them, each successive sculpture getting bigger and more complex. As my sculptures and ideas evolved, so too did my fabrication skills (sheet metal forming, welding, machining, Autocad, laser cutting, etc.). My current body of work is the product of years of this steady evolution.
