A low center of gravity and a rotund form establishes a structure that sways and rocks without falling over. A space is formed that bridges the gap between the fastness of ‘structure’ and and the instability of motion. This balancing machine is climbed into in threes for communing and departing on journeys, somewhat similar the historic ship of fools, here we have a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker, they would of course be listening to Woody Guthrie as they are swept along, the bell at the base of their craft keeping time as they bob in the current.
What is the advantage of a nodding chiming environment? Much like the study that found cows like curves not straightness, we humans are comforted and emotionally recharged by cradles, rockers, hammocks. Emergence is of significance, that passing feeling as one crosses a threshold from one state to another, balance, nature, interiority are brought together in a personal spatial relationship. Poised between two states we are in neither state which is often a pleasant escape. (TOB)
