Featured artist Steve King gives his pedal and belt-driven creation some finishing touches in preparation for the Stanley Papio Kinetic Sculpture Parade, an event held in honor of pioneering folk artist Stanley Papio.

Following in Papio’s footsteps, King used recycled materials in the construction of his creation “The Grinder,” combining wood, metal, bike parts and “bits and bobs” to create his gears-and-cogs-inspired design. “It’s always great when you can share your art and ideas with the community,” says the custom home and boat builder. King’s piece is among more than a dozen kinetic sculpture float entries that will wind down Duval street for the inaugural event that kicks off at noon on May 14th at the Custom House Museum and ends at the Southernmost Beach Café for an awards celebration at 1:00pm.

Registration is still open to new entrants—visit Papioskineticparade.com for more information.
