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.

David Lang's Kinetic sculptures are light and understated, but so compelling that they float while commanding the entire atrium of the gallery. These works are kinetic, activated by hidden motion sensors with the viewer causing the flicker of movement to begin. Gently, softly, "Daedelus, On the Other Hand . . ." takes flight. That such harmony can flow, both metaphorically and literally, while projecting an element of whimsy makes viewers crowding around Horse Play, say: "what is making the sea-horses move?" is the fun and fancy in these exquisitely crafted, magical works.
