Sometimes great works of art come from inspiration. Other times they spring forth fully formed from the cosmic chaos. This project is one of the latter. It uses the power of serendipity to pull a creative project out of ... well, out of a box of hangars.
After a recent move an organized group of wire hangars were inadvertently tossed into an empty box. When I reached in to pull it out I found the hangars had merged into a spontaneously generated kinetic sculpture. So instead of crying over spilt hangars I hung it on a tree.

Well done! I'm a former math teacher, now a designer for education, and this gets me thinking about how to create an activity that gets students to study measurement to create mobile sculptures.
