Greg Brotherton

I’ve been meaning to post about Greg Brotherton’s sculptures for months. The first one I saw was the Migraine Machine, and I was hooked.

In this steel gyroscope, precision bearings allow the base and sphere to spin in one direction as the pilot spins in the other. He looks appropriately peeved.

3 Prisoners is another favorite of mine:

Three steel cages occupied by iron prisoners hang from a central pressure gauge box.

One of Brotherton’s more well known sculptures is The Rise of Dischord; a mechanical representation of Eris, the Greek goddess of strife.
