Perpetual Motion (1994) is a wall relief sculpture located in the York College, CUNY Health and Physical Education Building in Jamaica, New York. 9 feet by 20 feet, acid free corrugated cardboard, paper, and acrylic paint.

In this piece Loving integrated common materials such as painted cardboard and paper. The cardboard is cut and overlapped to form a series of spirals. Each spiral has been carefully painted and placed to create dynamic color relationships The spirals can allude to many things such as motion, and nature. The work has no glass to cover it or frame to surround it. The spirals simply cling flatly to the wall with double sided adhesive. The idea of movement and growth that Perpetual Motion creates is fitting for its location. The Health and Physical Education building is home to many athletes and energetic students. The soccer field is visible through the glass walls below Loving's work, and must have been duly noted by Loving when he accepted the commission for this elevated location.
