A 2024 Modernist stabile sculpture by the American artist William Wesley. This Calder inspired metal sculpture features a bright orange ribbon-like base with a kinetic balancing top with colorful metal circles that act as counterweights to balance the top bar. The sculpture is signed and dated "WW24" to one of the legs of the base.

William Wesley is a contemporary Wisconsin artist specializing in kinetic metal sculpture. While working security for Milwaukee's Summerfest for over 40 years, Wesley sought a creative outlet to reduce stress during his free time. Wesley's lifelong fascination with art led him to a special admiration of Alexander Calder, who has inspired Wesley to create his own mobiles and stabiles.
