Kinetic mobile sculpture is like a companion. They occupy space as a friend. Conversing with us at an inner level. Influencing feelings of calm, ambient wonder. During the design process of my mobiles, I draw from several sources. In private studio time I am influenced by heroes such as Calder, Lloyd-Wright, Miro and Kandinsky to render my surroundings. A commission dictates focusing on the client. Drawing from the aesthetics of the site. The architecture of the structure. Colors and shapes specific to the client and surroundings. Making efforts to compliment and enhance the airspace. The common denominator in my mobiles is the following mindset; to focus design on the "armature" portion of the piece. Twists and turns draw the eye into kinetic movement even when the piece is static. Intertwining motions diffuse attention from the "points-of-contact" of the armatures. The "ballast" portions are color and shape enhancement as opposed to being the primary visual focus.
