About Me

My Photo
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.

Show at the Corners Gallery


Next January and February, I will have a show at The Corners Gallery in Ithaca. It's an intimate space with large windows in the Community Corners shopping plaza close to Cayuga Heights.

Here's a preview of a wall mobile, 17" H x 6.5" W x 13" D. It's actually two separate pieces from a couple years ago that I have now merged together.

The opening is Saturday, January 16, 2010, from 2 to 4 pm.
