Inspired by the forms and forces of nature, Lin Emery's gracefully undulating kinetic sculptures, constructed of highly polished abstract metal shapes, adorn museums and outdoor public spaces around the world.
The flowing motion of her structures are also often propelled by natural forces; she uses both water and wind to generate movement in her creations. The resulting revolving, twirling, linked elements evoke plants, trees, clouds or water and the sculptures produce constantly changing relationships through the ever-varying configuration of their parts.
This publication covers the life and majestic sculptures created over a career of nearly 40 years from Emery's education working in clay under Ossip Zadkine in Paris, to her move in the 1950s to New Orleans and her explorations in bronze, aluminum, nickel and other metals.
