I Was Absolutely Amazed,

at the amount of work that went into this kinetic sculpture,


all images Casey Curran, it was made by artist Casey Curran,

titled Carrion Blooms, the works reference degeneration and decay and how the body’s stamina wanes. “We can all recall those days when our energy seemed endless, twenty-four-hour benders where we somehow managed to cram everything in; work, school, hobbies, friends, and family. The time felt limitless with possibilities,” Curran says,

as the work is hand cranked, 

the animate laser-cut insects and flowers made of mylar, flutter, blossom, and retreat to their static positions,

as I mentioned absolutely amazing,

Carrion Blooms is on view from April 1 to May 6 at Heron Arts in San Francisco, and you can find more from Curran on his site and Instagram, you can view the full size video here.
