The Art and Design of Kinetic Mobiles

Counter Balance is a collection of kinetic mobiles designed by Courtney and Jerrod Windham, both designers and educators at Auburn University in the School of Industrial + Graphic Design. Wire, wood, paint, and other custom materials come together to create kinetic art that, in the words of Alexander Calder, are “a piece of poetry that dances with the joy of life surprises.”
