This event has ended.

Tim Prentice is an American-born kinetic sculptor, who works in a variety of lightweight materials including aluminum, stainless steel, feathers, and Lexan. Trained as an architect, Prentice turned to full-time sculpture making over thirty years ago. His architectural background has enabled him to design sculptures with a sensitivity to their surroundings, whether they be for large public installations or more intimate private collections. In this exhibition, the artist further investigates the shape, form, and flow of wind currents in order to make air virtually visible. Constructed on “systems” of identically bent wire, the intricate structures and reflective metals he uses allow the sculptures to soar or undulate in response to their environment, creating delightful patterned movements for the eye. As one of the foremost kinetic sculptors working today, Prentice has executed literally hundreds of his whimsical and complex pieces for galleries, universities, museums, hospitals, airports, corporate offices, civic centers, and private collections around the world.
