The Singing, Ringing Tree
Looking like the wreckage of an Alien space craft, this Futuristic Sculpture is Art Jim, but not as we know it. Commisioned by a forward thinking Burnley Council, The collection of tubes makes the strangest sounds when the wind blows, which is often round the location at Crown POint, on the moorland overlooking Burnley. Seen in the background is Pendle Hill, famous for the PENDLE WITCHES. Maybe in the sculpture, the myth lives on. Let me know what YOU think.

Serial Departure
we make money not art: art in California: "I wish i had been in LA in the Summer of 2004 to see Rob Ley's Serial Departure. The installation demonstrated that a simple and inexpensive material such as pine furring strips could be infused with a sophistication usually reserved for high-end materials.
Serial Departure
By projecting digital information onto the fabrication bed, a system emerges in which curves developed through design in 3D modeling applications could be precisely replicated with a piece of wood. A variable jig composed of a pegboard and adjustable cams allows for the production of an almost unlimited number of unique curvatures, moving beyond the limitations of one mold equals one form. More interesting is that this same process allows for material feedback into the digital model. If at any point, the curvature exceeds the bending capacity of the wood, the computer model is adjusted to match the maximum profile the wood is able to bear. In this way, a feedback loop is created as information flows from the digital, to the real, and back into the digital."
