Lin Emery: A Force of Nature

Emery is best known for her wind-powered sculptures made from industrial-grade aluminum that she has welded and polished to reflect light. Emery’s sculptures composed of abstract forms are inspired by nature and powered by natural energy sources. Throughout her lengthy career, Emery has investigated different methods of incorporating form with movement. Emery’s body of work includes the creation of aquamobiles (water), magnetmobiles (magnetic force), wind-powered works, and even musical sculptures. Encompassing more than thirty works indicative of her various types of kinetic art, this exhibition organized by the Art & Science Museum provides a glimpse into Lin Emery’s stylistic development and feats of engineering as well as her personal creative process.
