Casey Curran

Casey Curran is a sculptor who creates kinetic pieces that move with a manual crank. His older works of art consist of kinetic pieces that are mantled onto books. Most if not all of his works consist of wires and levers that when cranked moves the entire piece. His artwork style blends the hard mechanical feel of metal with the soft and organic feel of nature since most of his works are resemblances of nature. What inspired me about his work is that the complexity of it all and how everything moves together by one lever. You can see the dedication and time put into his work and he makes us look as artist books in a different way for a medium. It makes me want to try making kinetic pieces after watching videos of his work in action.
