stainless steel ball chain, steel tube, baked enamel finish
Catenary stainless steel ball chains descent dramatically from a suspended elliptical ring beam and then return skyward on a new path forming two shells of pattern and color. Artists Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues have produced a translucent three-dimensional painting, fabricated with a digital cutting machine developed in their own studio. Depending on the viewer’s vantage point, the 1141 multi-colored chains of Euphony may appear as a hard-edged geometric form or blur to a vapor-like visual composition.
Total weight of the artwork (2,100 lbs. ) and ring beam (1,400 lbs.) is 3,500 lbs.
Euphony amplifies aesthetics of light, reflection and color creating a visual spectacle and physical sensation in a public space
25 miles of stainless steel chain are attached to a 30’ x 8’ steel ring beam that is suspended 3’ from ceiling
Euphony hangs 117’ and 10’ 11” above first level floor
