Look!: Lisa Congdon's New Mobile

Lisa, we love you, but your new mobile at Rare Device makes us feel a bit like anxious parents...you know, "be careful, dear, around that mobile... are you sure the strings are secure enough?"

But it is certainly one way to display a collection. It makes us think about doing something with tiny vintage letters or flash cards.

yeah this totally creeps me out (maybe because I'm a teacher?), but I love the wall panels in the background

I'd feel better if they were safety scissors.

Hence the old advice: never run with kinetic art.

Hang it above the guest bed if you have guests that overstay their welcome.

It's like many swords of Damocles hanging over your head.

DMSTUDIO - you have given me a perfect idea just in time for the big family visit :)

Okay, seriously, as long as it's secure, it's stunning. If it's not secure, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

glassesgirl: i believe those tree wall panels are actually Ferm Living wallpaper pieces...

sorry, i absolutely hate it. it's not only ominous in its feel, it's ugly. chunky wood with scissors attached to string? what's the point? next will be to "decoratively" hang sharp knives.
