for his sculptures composed of both flexible and rigid
components. They are arranged according to the
idea of tensegrity (tensional integrity), or “floating
compression,” where a structure is composed of
multiple stiff struts that never physically touch but
are pulled up and open through interconnection with
a series of tensile cables.
