DescriptionKinetic art is best described as visual art that can move. Morgan's kinetic art consists primarily of recycled metal, animated by low-voltage electric motors and randomly moving parts, balls and lights. According to Charles Morgan, 'The movement creates the emotion'. Charles Morgan reveals the beauty of mechanical kinetic timepieces. His 'machines' – mobile, humorous and metal sculptures always amaze.
