3 piece kinetic sculpture presents a narrative about the developing 3rd Industrial Revolution symbolizing liberty & prosperity through an empowered participatory populace. The 3 piece assembly features: CRANIA REVOLUTIS: Represents the passing of an era & the ever growing renewal over the ghost of the past. PHOENIX REVOLUTIS: The wings are symbolic of the mythical Phoenix rebirth & spring from the fire theme interpreted by my “tangle” aesthetic. They are comprised of nearly 100 separate mechanical moving pieces that are printed in their entirety as a single working assembly. THE CROOKED CAIRN: symbolizes the burdensome weight of the institution that gives rise to the Phoenix. The crown bears the tentacles of influence. The edifice references the familiar “Eye of Providence” & presents a mockery of the “Hear No, Speak No, See No Evil” as symbols of corruption. The crossed heart on the hook symbolizes the machine’s broken promise mechanism of operation.

Joshua Harker (b.1970) is an American artist considered a pioneer & visionary in 3D printed art & sculpture. His series of "unmakeable" technically complex tangles is credited as the first to break the design & manufacturing threshold of possiblity. His pursuit of a process to bring his works into the 3rd dimension culminated after nearly 20 years in a perfect storm of software development, materials engineering, & 3d printing technology advancements. He went on to navigate the creation of his "Tangle" series in the archival material of cast bronze, thus bridging the traditional techniques of the past with technology of the present. This has been considered a landmark event in the history of sculpture & the chronology of the 3D printed medium & has made him one of the most recognized artists in the field. His recent works are 2 dimensional pattern based explorations of 3 Dimensional forms. Along with his techniques, subject matter, & execution, his experimentation in the dissemination of his art through digital media & the internet has garnered him international recognition & acclaim. He holds the #1 most funded Sculpture project in the history of the crowdfunding giant Kickstarter & is among 1000s of collections that include such notable artists as Andy Warhol, Ron English, Shepard Fairey, R. Crumb, & Robert Williams. His work has neen exhibited internationally & appeared in such media as TIME, WIRED, The Wall Street Journal, TED Talks, Los Angeles Times, The Economist, MSNBC, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes, National Geographic, and countless others.
