Wood That Works kinetic sculptureWood That Works is the online portfolio of artist David C. Roy, who renders the movement of various natural forces into carefully designed interlocking cogs and gears. The result is a series of intricate sculptures which are the ultimate union of industrial movement and natural materials – little wooden machines, if you will. These are AWESOME! Pictured above is “Migration,”, which captures a flight of birds. (we highly recommend clicking the link to see move which requires Flash.) Warning: gearheads may find the rest of site a bit of a timesucker as you’ll want to watch the rest of them.
