Kinetic Sculptures

My work begins with wind and ends with rhythm. I am fascinated by the unnoticed movements that govern our lives—the subtle swaying of grass, the imperceptible shift of shadows across a wall, the tidal pulse of breath that carries us from dawn to sleep. My sculptures are collaborations with these invisible forces. By giving steel, wood, and glass a chance to dance with air currents, I am inviting the environment to finish the artwork for me. What I make is not still, and therefore, never fully finished.

I draw inspiration from the mechanics of insect wings, the pendulum swings of old clocks, and the ritual motions of daily human life—stirring tea, hanging laundry, pacing while thinking. I use simple materials, but they are carefully tuned so that the smallest nudge—a breeze, a passerby’s presence, a vibration in the floor—sets them in motion. I want my pieces to remind viewers that movement is a kind of conversation: we touch the world, and the world answers back.

Ultimately, my sculptures are experiments in patience and perception. They reward the slow observer—the one who lingers long enough to notice a sudden spin, a gradual oscillation, a flash of sunlight refracting through a moving panel. Each piece is a kind of clock that doesn’t tell time but instead reveals the hidden choreography of a particular place. If you stand quietly enough, you can feel that choreography in your body, and perhaps find yourself moving in response.

Customizing This Page

Replace the content above with your own creative work. Here are some ideas for what to include:

• Artist statement — Your creative philosophy, influences, and goals
• Portfolio of work — Images, descriptions, and links for individual projects or pieces
• Exhibitions and performances — Where and when your work has been shown
• Commissions and collaborations — Projects created with or for others
• Process notes — Behind-the-scenes documentation of how you make things

Tip: This page doesn’t have to be about art—use it for any creative or applied work that doesn’t fit neatly into “Research” or “Teaching.” Digital projects, public history work, design, film, music, coding—all fair game. You can also rename this page entirely (e.g., rename this file to projects.md and update the nav in _data/nav-top.yml to match).
