Artist's Statement

"My hanging mobiles are ever-changing works of art. The delicate balance between gravity and the gentle currents in the air around us cause the mobiles to twist and bend, appearing to give them a life of their own. They are constantly redefining not only the positive shape of the mobile itself, but the negative spaces that surround the sculpture.

I like to think of my mobiles as a reminder that although life is ever-changing, one can always find beauty and joy in it. All one needs to do is stay balanced and bend slightly with the breeze."

-Steve DeSpirito

Reaching



This is one of my first "production" mobiles and continues to be a best seller. I have sold versions of this mobile in Germany, Switzerland, France, and across the US in various color combinations. This piece, like many of my work, is made of stainless steel and EVA foam shapes. This makes it very lightweight and incredibly responsive to minor indoor air currents. The size of this mobile is about 24 inches wide by 32 inches high, but I've made custom sizes up to 4 feet tall.
