These are the last of my Circular Obsessions sculpture series. The others in the series were may over four years ago. I closed my Minnesota studio when we moved to Iowa. I had a few left over pieces and decided to make something of them.
You can see the rest of the series at jimbolesdesigns.com
Click on the sculpture gallery and the Dubuque Transducers are on the 2nd page.
The spheres are torchworked glass as are the 'insulators' connecting the spark plugs.
The metal rings are antique cast iron heat grates/vents from the 1800's. There were forged in a foundry in Dubuque, hence the name.
A transducer is a device which transfers one form of energy to another. In this case these will transport you to Dubuque, but I'm afraid to turn them on.
Or... they were very successful in transferring my creative energy into wasted energy :)
It was great to conclude with these two.
I love designing them, but putting them together can be tedious when making all the disparate parts fit together.
