Orange Drop | Kinetic Aluminum Outdoor Sculpture by Jodi Carlson

$14,000.00

Orange Drop balances structure and play. At its base, a lattice of aluminum rods zigzags around and through itself, looking at once like engineering and improvisation. From that grounded tangle, four tubes rise and come together in one long curve. The curve climbs, arcs over, and drops to a single hanging point, where a flame-like ribbon of bright orange hangs free.

The flame swings and turns with the wind, so the sculpture is always moving a little. Its orange finish is automotive paint, chosen because it holds up to weather and keeps its color. Against grass, sky, and trees, that color carries across a lawn or campus.

This photo shows the piece at the Pingree School outdoor sculpture show in Massachusetts.
