About the Artwork
Colorful geometric shapes gently move with air currents. “Hidden” in each of the mobiles is a tribute to the county - a small orange.
About the Artist
Doug Rhodehamel
Originally from Centerville, Ohio, Doug Rhodehamel has called Orlando home since 1993. He is best known for his mobiles and paper bag mushrooms.
“I have a passion for creation and especially love building things from discarded and surplus items. I believe what I do is very important because it demonstrates tangible creativity. By using everyday parts and pieces, people viewing my work are instantly related to it in a very fundamental way. I am best known for my paper bag mushroom installations which have been planted on every continent including Antarctica. I believe that creativity is the key to anything worthwhile.”
