The mechanical and the handmade combine in kinetic sculpture.
Fluffy Transmission is a new installation combining the soft and somewhat organic forms of pom-poms with the mechanically limited motion of a rotary transmission system. This 'mechanism' has not been assembled as a means toward an end goal, but rather to reflect on how machines operate, transmit forces and propagate values.
The synchronic, sensual and pseudo practical forms, unify to create a kind of temporal mandella.
Danny Frommer's practice spans a variety of art forms including painting, photography, sculpture and installation. His recent work reflects on the relationship between the body and the machine; the machine-made and the hand crafted. Frommer's machines are often made out of recycled or found materials, or objects that are not usually considered as mechanical components.
Frommer holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts from ANU, has undertaken numerous residencies and is currently completing a Certificate III in Engineering Studies at NMIT.
