This piece is caught in a freeze-frame, both physically and by its reflection in the mirror. The piece is equipped for motion with many wheels, but is momentarily tethered by cast iron "plus sign" weights. The same strings that tether the wheeled hoops form woven intersections embroidered with the signs for plus, minus, equal, and zero--signs that echo the formal shapes in the sculpture. In both the representation of these mathematical signs, and the physical tension of the piece between motion and stasis, an underlying theme emerges. Equilibrium is both fleeting, and dynamic--the result of a constant interplay of external and internal forces.
