Red Line Koan and Acid Lava Koan are layered with elliptical coloured sections lit from inside. The cones spin slowly at a constant speed so that the viewer’s eye focuses on the lines, which in turn appear to dissolve the volume of the sculpture. It is as if the lines move through the volume, whereas, in fact, the volume is spinning as a whole.
