Mobile making is an ever-evolving art form, and I am absolutely hooked. It’s like being a kid in the candy store; there are so many delicious options I want to try out. I play, I have fun, I get excited about colors. Walking the line between gravity and balance gives a structure that I love to push against, challenge and learn to work with. Then there is the profound energetic impact when a mobile is placed in a space. It is a mystery, like magic. I can’t explain it rationally, I just let the calm, grounding and healing energy wash over me and delight in the beauty. Watching the gently spiraling motion reminds me that life is always in flux and changing. Yet even in motion, one can feel at peace. During the many years as a goldsmith and sculptor, I created flowing abstract shapes and let the material speak for itself, never altering it with colors. When I was pulled to see those forms take flight, I used colored paper to create my first mobiles. Seeing the shapes in bold colors struck a deep chord. Now I use them to enhance the sense of joy, play and whimsy.
