Kinetic energy is the basis of Derek Hugger's stunning sculptures. According to the law of conservation of energy, derived in physics 150 years ago by the German scientist Robert Meyer, the young specialist creates his mechanical sculptures, combining the laws of nature and art. The movement of dozens of wooden parts is determined by the work and their correct arrangement. Thus, Derek's latest work - "Hummingbird", as if endlessly can collect pollen from the flower of life.
This is just one of Derek's sculptures. In his workshop, where one can find countless precisely cut elements, computing devices and programs, the designer-engineer has created many others.
For him, creating the sculptures is “a passion for mechanisms and an irresistible desire to solve mechanical puzzles.” He adds that “in most cases, the work is redone many times until it reaches the perfect result,” which you can do yourself in the workshop. Derek sells well-sketched instructions for the work plans, which you can choose from on his website. http://www.derekhugger.com
