About Me
- Werner Sun
- Ithaca, New York, United States
- I have always been inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, and I try to capture the same lightness and grace in my own sculptures. However, being a particle physicist, I am also interested in bringing invisible, abstract ideas to life and giving them tangible form. Mapping the space between the poetic and the analytic is the unspoken subject of my work. My sculptures range in size from miniature wall mobiles to room-filling installations, and I employ a variety of materials: metal, wood, stone, polymer clay, paper, and found objects. I work primarily with a geometric vocabulary, arranging blocks of color into compositions that are both organized and flexible. Indeed, it is this balance between stability and chaos, control and movement, that animates my work and my imagination.

Say What?
Here's my first attempt at a linguistic mobile (29" W x 29" H), based on the sketch in this post. I think the concept shows promise, but it's definitely still missing something. To me, this piece still feels like "just a mobile". Perhaps it needs to be more elaborate and expanded to a person-sized scale.
