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.

Suspension of [Dis]Color

Yesterday's opening at the Corners Gallery was a big success (I thought). Many thanks to everyone who came and especially to Ariel Ecklund for organizing the whole thing! I had a great time!

Here's a nice shot of me with some of my mobiles by Steve Gallow of local blogging and photography fame. Thanks, Steve!


Also, check out master blogger-potter Gary Rith for more pics from yesterday's event!
