Double Crazy Swirl
Each of Carson's designs starts as a rough sketch on paper. Periodically he sifts through sketches and executes the most intriguing. From there he works methodically: sizing the parts, figuring the mechanics, perfecting the rotations, developing the prototypes.When the design is done, the final drawings are printed at full scale. He then makes the parts with a combination of industrial processes and hand working, this includes every piece: pillars, metal elements, glass cups, hubs and transitions.
"I create my sculpture to interact with people and solve riddles of landscape both interior and exterior. Using a varied palette—electronics, illustration, the camera and mechanical systems I work very hard for elegant solutions for demanding problems of space.
It is not always easy to blend functionality with form. Only a few of the kinetic sculptures I dream are ever realized."
