Artist Casey Curran creates kinetic sculptures that combine mechanical systems with forms inspired by plants and natural structures. In this prototype, layers of delicate petals are connected so that a single mechanical action produces a rippling movement across the entire structure. Instead of every element moving independently, the motion travels through the sculpture like a wave. This type of movement is central to Curran’s practice. Using motors, wires, cranks and carefully engineered mechanisms, he creates artificial flowers and organisms that bloom, flutter and contract. The machinery is artificial, but the movement feels strangely organic ,engineering becomes a way of imitating the rhythms of living systems. #art #artist #fashion #avantgarde #design
