From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Curator's commentary: "John Tyler's Undulations, an abstract tree-like sculpture perfectly at ease in the botanical garden's Strickland Border, produces a captivating dance of unpredictable action, also presenting near-collisions of moving elements that challenge logic. It is composed of a boldly curved patinaed mild steel base in contrast to three free-formed hollow stainless steel arms, mounted in sequence and using non-parallel axes of rotation and counter-weighted, compound pendulums. Tyler, a former math teacher who designed and built experimental aircraft and whose studio runs on solar electricity, is an avid surfer. He credits his intimate knowledge of sea currents for his understanding of wind, which obeys similar forces."
