Suspended forms joined by a single crossbar

Move around
the point.

The red form follows a finite arc around the marked support. The center stays in view as you move down the page.

Hanging mobile around a marked center

A broad arm.

One line reaches across an open field.

Unequal hanging planes across an offset rod

A small counterpoint.

The shorter end brings attention back toward the center.

One plane.
Two ways to see it.

Face-on, the disc fills a circle. Edge-on, it becomes a narrow line. The outline can change while the object stays the same.

Is this a suspension plan?

No. The drawings explore visual balance. They do not provide load calculations, dimensions, or installation instructions.

Does the page control a sculpture?

No device is connected. You can browse the forms and download original drawings or your own note.
