Like so many of Kevin's pieces, Strike speaks of balance and grace.

If you are wondering why a windchime - which is rung by the capricious wiles of the wind - is named Strike, behold its profile below, which reveals its cobra-inspired form.

Strike's size is impressive, too, reaching 8-1/4 feet into the sky. Still, the stand is light and graceful, while the bell - 5 feet tall itself - constitutes the bulk of the piece's weight. Fortunately, Kevin has built it so that the bell is easily removable, yet swings freely to dance with the lightest breeze.
