ASHIME (Architectural, Structural, Horticultural, Industrial, Mechanical, Engineered Sculpture)

This piece started with a six hundred pound train wheel and a very large impeller. It evolved over a two year period. It weighs about 3500 lbs and is held by a concrete foundation of 22,000 lbs. The Lily rotates and the entire structure also rotates around the center, swinging a 30 foot diameter. It is simply pushed to change the location in the garden.
