“I'm currently building structures as parallels to patterns of natural occurrences. My work examines the subtle movements around us, and the patterns those movements create. I am trying to compare the cyclical patterns found in nature with manufactured objects, environments, and modes of transportation." ~Brose Partington, 2009
Partington's father owned a clock repair shop in Indianapolis during his childhood. The clocks, gears, and mechanisms of his father's shop influence his sculptures today. Most of his current work is kinetic with references to the patterns of nature. Tides, a work shown internationally, is an example of the relationship between nature and machine found throughout Partington's installations.
