A personal journal of art and writing by a Finger Lakes sculptor
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.
New at the Holiday Spirit Store: mobiles made from recycled vinyl placemats. Each one is packaged on a 16" x 20" piece of cardboard, and they are all different!
