One Planet - Ours! Exciting new installation of Susan's work in Washington, DC, 2008
This site presents many of my designs for kinetic sculptures. Most of these sculptures are externally activated. My work has originated in response to a new universal sensibility as regards the human environment - one which seeks to contextualize itself within nature and the planet in a fashion which is balanced, harmonious, and consequently aesthetically compelling.
Recent Installation Library Garden's Water Wall, Berkeley, CA. Dedication on November 10. New Detail Photos! Susan's Dedication provides insight into the inspiration behind this work of art, as well as a tribute to the many people who helped make it a reality.
The works shown here are all kinetic free-standing mobiles or created for a specific site.

By taking into consideration the variables of different environments, I am able to create exciting uniquely adapted designs. While indoor pieces may be of lighter more plasticine materials, outdoor pieces are built to last. Employing stainless and titanium for fortifying substructures, all weather aircraft components for super sensitive movement. Many of the wind-catching elements use processes of deep-fire enameling, electrolysis, and acid baths for rich, permanent coloration. The finished pieces are virtually maintenance free.
The kinetic quality of these sculptures evokes a ballet of form and function. The elements of wind, water and light provide the kinetic energy.

It has been said that the new millennium will concern itself with the biosphere. This kind of Art is very much a part of that, and I look forward to expanding the diversity and scope of the design concepts presented within this website. New possibilities - power generating, self-illuminating, musical, etc., - are all there to be explored. In the meantime, please enjoy your visit to my website.
