A self-taught artist with a background in physics, David C. Roy has been creating mesmerizing wooden kinetic sculptures for nearly 40 years. Powered solely through mechanical wind-up mechanisms, pieces can run up to 48 hours on a single wind.

Om is where the heart is.

Oh my! thanks for posting that Pete. David's certainly someone who managed to make a career out of a passion. I imagine one of those could be very soothing to watch. I've sometimes dreamed about making a windpowered kinetic sculpture, but I don't have the time, patience or skill!
