"It's About Time" Rolling Ball Sculpture

From artist Tom Harold comes "It's About Time," a unique rolling ball sculpture that is not only a work of contemporary kinetic art, but also features a fully functioning clock. The piece measures 24” x 18” x 12” (VxHxD).
This custom ball machine sculpture was commissioned as a birthday present by a wife for her engineer husband. It features three stainless steel tracks, one dedicated a tall coil. The other two tracks have elements such as spirals, serpentine (wiggle) track, loops, three teeter-totter style track switches, a tipping arm, various fun twisting and curving track and an automated ball lift that can be turned on and off at the viewer's discretion. The clock runs off of a separate AA battery, running whether the balls are in motion or not. The clock face is also of stainless steel and was custom designed for this sculpture. Other designs are available.
For those looking for a unique and exclusive experience, my rolling ball sculpture is captivating and truly singular. It accents either home or office like nothing else.

Another outstanding piece of RBS artwork accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack - you just keep knocking it out of the park, Tom! Keep up the great work...

Thanks so much Gordon! This was a fun sculpture, and a lot of people enjoy the clock element. I should have more uploaded in the next few months.

Wonderful - Those marbles look like they're having fun. The sounds are real nice too. Thank for sharing.

Many thanks, Bill! It was interesting integrating the clock into the piece. I hope to have a few more added to the channel soon.

I’m interested to know.. your pieces are so cool and flow so well- do you plan them out first or do you just design and put it together as you go?

[@TomHaroldArt]

Thanks very much for the compliments. I do some basic planning, such as deciding where the lift will go and elements such as the tall coil and any other major ones that will occupy a fair bit of space or width and whatnot. The rest of it is designed as I go according to what feels right.

@@TomHaroldArt Wow that makes it even more impressive. Way to go. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Are you still producing art pieces ?? It looks like it's been a year since your last video.

[@TomHaroldArt]

Yes, I've been doing plenty of other work, but I've not had time to upload any videos.

[@RobertSzasz]

Don't mean to be a downer. But that just looks like a clock welded on to the sculpture. Did I miss some sort of integration?
