Gone

From the New York Times:

"Over the course of three decades, until his death at 78 in 1986, Emery Blagdon built what he thought of as a great healing machine in an unheated shed on his farm in the Nebraska Sandhills, near North Platte.

Using baling wire, string, masking tape, wood, glass, sheet metal, aluminum foil, wax paper and many other materials, he constructed snarly, extraordinarily complicated structures. They resemble mobiles, chandeliers, television antennas and electrical generators. He arranged them, along with his vibrantly colored abstract paintings, in an indoor environment that he believed would generate curative electromagnetic energy."
