New Kinetic sculpture by Bruce Campbell. “Inspired by Giovanni di Paolo’s 1445 painting ‘The Expulsion from Paradise’ where he depicts the known version of the cosmos with the earth at the center and the planets revolving around the sun.

The planets revolving around the earth rotate at different speeds with those closest to the center spinning faster than those farther out.”
