Concept Kinetic

I am working on a piece at present that is both conceptual and kinetic.  The concept being that of a solid form that can also have kinetic energy. 

The rough form has been turned from green wood and is in the process of drying.

I have chosen both the piece of wood and it's wet state to turn, the hope being that the already expanding cracks etc. will enhance and add to the finished piece.

As it stands, the piece is not complete but part of the concept is to alow it to move and change of it's own accord.  Thus also forcing the piece to go through the potential/kinetic energy battle.  My hope is that the piece will still remain close to it's current shape afterwards, but only time will tell.

The final piece, once dry, will have a coloured stain applied as the grain of this natural wood is not particularly appealing.  In the meantime here are a few short videos displaying the kinetic aspects of the piece:
