Anomal

This set of ten wings is an abstraction of a creature called Anomalocaris, extinct nearly a half billion years, known only thru fossils. When the vertical drive bar is swung back and forth it sets a flywheel spinning which, in turn, powers the wings to wave in a rhythmic cycle. Anomal lives in the mighty Bend Science Station in Bend Oregon. Learn more about the BSS here. The last thumb above is a video BSS produced of Bermi and me talking about the project.

Special thanks to The Roundhouse Foundation for thier financial support for art at the Bend Science Station.
