George Rickey described one of his kinetic sculptures as "the postponement of anything climactic." Reacting only to the wind and touch, the exact movements of Rickey's sculptures are difficult to predict and it is the anticipation that makes them so alluring. As an artist, Rickey experimented with many mediums and it wasn't until he was thirty-seven that he created his first sculpture (quote from Nan Rosenthal's George Rickey, 1977, p.14).
