As seen at Cardus · Ottawa
A Joyful Machine
Hand-bent steel wire, set in motion — built for a room where people worth gathering come together.

Jim Paterson bends steel wire into joyful, moving machines — one-of-a-kind kinetic sculptures made in his studio at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton, Ontario. This piece was made as a gift for Cardus: a small celebration of imagination, faith, and the sense that the world is still worth wondering at.
Every piece is built by hand and made to move. No two are the same.
Commission a piece of your own
Jim takes a limited number of private and institutional commissions each year — for a home, an office, a foyer, a space that gathers people. Tell him what you have in mind and he'll be in touch personally.
