Flip & Two Twisters
Television (Full Length) – 1995
I’m composing figures of motion - and I’m composing them out of very springy spring steel.– Len Lye on his process
Unless you can keep trying to find something that’s simply fascinating to you there’s not much point ... so wait until you’re in the mood ... and you find a piece of steel ... and you might go [rolls steel] like this with it, and roll it about ... and you gradually get the grip of an idea.– Len Lye on the importance of getting in the mood
