  • (birds chirping)

  • - [Anthony] Aliens.

  • Jellyfish.

  • Bursting suns.

  • That all is immaterial to me.

  • I don't really want them to be like anything,

  • I want them to be like nothing else you've seen before.

  • My name is Anthony Howe, I'm a kinetic wind sculptor

  • residing on Orcas Island, Washington.

  • The unifying element to all of my work

  • is that the outdoor stuff is all powered by the wind.

  • (gentle chiming music)

  • I don't have a gallery

  • and haven't had one for about 30 years.

  • My wife and I have run the whole business ourselves

  • without agents or galleries or consultants.

  • Most of the people that see my work,

  • see it on YouTube videos.

  • A large scale piece will generally start at say,

  • $45,000, $50,000, and go up to, um, $400,000

  • if it's a really big sculpture.

  • But that's the kind of piece that takes a long time to make

  • and extracts a lot of physical ability out of me.

  • (upbeat gentle music)

  • What I'm trying to do with the work

  • is cause people to stop whatever thought process

  • they have in their head

  • and just for a moment experience

  • a different kind of reality.

  • Maybe more meditative.

  • They work, they take people out of whatever nonsense

  • is going on in their heads.

  • Puts them in a different place.

  • It's a feeling you get when you see something

  • that is very beautiful or unusual.

  • That's what I'm trying to do with the work.

  • (gentle upbeat music)
