Swimming Up Stream: Phil Lange sculptor

If you see fish swimming in the air outside you are not dreaming;  you're  viewing the kinetic fish sculptures of artist Phil Lange

"Having Fun" is how he describes this work

The fish are made of oxidized steel with a stone for an eye.  His kinetic fish sculptures are generally placed outdoors, where breezes make them swim in the air.  I purchased two of these on my last trip to Big Sur here. When they are placed in a multiple fish "school"  they tend to swim in the same direction, into the wind

The fish sit/balance precariously on a very small central pin, that is then supported by a steel rod placed in your garden

I love garden art in small quantities and these sculptures are especially interesting because of the soft movement in the breeze

Here are a few more examples of Phil's work

Fish swimming in the air!  What a wonderful idea.
