Kinetic sculptures & art mobiles

The word kinetic is an adjective defined as “pertaining to motion”. Kinetic artists everywhere pay homage to Alexander Calder the father of the first mobile. It was Marcel Duchamp who suggested their name to Calder. “Mobile” in French refers to both "motion" and "motive”. Like Calder I often use wire in my mobiles to draw line in space. Light, air and gravity are the forces that inform my sculptures. Light filtering through translucent rice papers, films and screen highlight form and texture. A gust of wind sets the choreography in motion with positive and negative spaces interchanging. The delicate balance of the components allows me to sculpt space and time creating drama in the process. My goal is to find the balance point where line and form resolve in a lyrical moving sculpture.

My kinetic sculptures can be found in private, public, and corporate art collections nationally. I currently maintain a studio in The Granary building in Brandon, VT, an artist hub. Please check my “news” link for a list of shows and events that I’m participating in.
