VISIBLE AIR CURRENTS - DANCING COLOR
I first saw a mobile in my mother's art/shop class when I was
twelve. We studied the mobiles of Alexander Calder, their shape, their
color and the connections used in making them. When we hung them up, suddenly
the space over our headsm usually empty and unnoticeable, was alive with
activity. The air currents became visible, and color danced. I was completely
hooked.
Calder and Matisse are the artists who have most inspired me. They played
with color, shape, line and movement and clearly had a wonderful time
doing it. Their art simply makes me happy.
My mobiles are made of various wires and metals, plastic, recycled tin, and found objects. They range in size, from five inches to ten feet, and I love making them.
