ARTISTS' WALKTHROUGH

Carl Morgan will talk about how his kinetic sculptures
are inspired by the natural laws of physics
- and his process.

Carl Morgan was part of the team that invented the HeartStart Home Defibrillator. He is now utilizing his scientific experience to develop sculptures.

"In every piece, I try to use mechanisms to highlight how spare and simple mechanical physical principles can combine to produce complex action, just like Mother Nature does on a much grander scale. I hope Ma has as much fun as I do in the process."
- Carl Morgan
