Soihl creates small sculptures with a kinetic emphasis, utilizing his background in physics. By programming micro controllers, he is able to use solar panels to animate kinetic sculptures with sunlight and/or incandescent light, which he calls “time variable volumes.” Using plexiglas shapes that are hollow and filled with colored oils, he brings these sculptures to life with electrically timed motors and pumps that allow the pieces to tilt, rotate, and shift, which in turn mobilizes the colored oils throughout the hollowed plexiglas and tubing. Experimenting with the timing, volume, color, dimensions, motors, viscosity, and contours of these sculptures, he has pursued an exploration of both beauty and physics.
