For the last several years my sculptural work has become largely kinetic and interactive. It is often witty, profound and provocative. Much of it seems to exist in the realm of the unlikely. These days, my mind is in a whirl, trying to understand how to make very complicated things appear to be smooth, slow and coordinated.

Join the Danforth's journey through the local arts scene

FRAMINGHAM —

"After a long flight from Paris, Katherine French coped with jet lag by driving to the Danforth Museum of Art at 3 a.m and arranging works by 135 distinct painters, photographers, printmakers and mixed-media sculptors into a "Community of Artists."

"In her fourth such exhibit as the Danforth's executive director, she's inviting visitors on an exciting journey through the area arts . . . scene".

"As (people walked) about, they were startled when David Lang's ingenious kinetic sculpture "The Day the Castinetti Sisters First Learned to Fly" came to life when triggered by a motion detector. Atop a sort of Erector set wire cart, several clams shells began clacking like hungry dentures beneath flapping fabric bat wings".

"After a few moments, (we) went into the adjoining gallery and plugged in Lang's even more complex "Play by Play" which resembles a stainless steel Model T and, when triggered, transmits actual radio broadcasts of historic baseball games."
