Santo Mirabile
Artist Statement
Mobiles are, for me, the ultimate in visual art. They encompass shape, movement and color, as well as, in some cases, surface texture. When sculpture moves, it also saves the viewer from circumnavigating the piece. They relax me, and inspire me with their possibilities. Air currents pushing them just adds more wonder. I'm a Libra, an air sign in the zodiac. Air, color, shape, and light, all play a role in my mobiles. This magic cannot be achieved without balance, and balance is a Libra trait as well. This balancing act is more than two-dimensional, beyond compositional form, it is a physical truth coupled with the elements of the place where the mobile lives.
