Scott Cupp (b. 1975)

As a designer in a mylar balloon manufacturer art department for many years, Scott continues to search for creative and exciting ways to express himself. Kinetic mobile sculptures are his latest way to passionately explore new forms and concepts. Inspiration springs from Scott's interest in the cosmos and the natural world, along with the various works of Alexander Calder, George Rickey, and Jerome Kirk, amongst others. With each component connected in precise equilibrium, his sculptures portray the interaction between shapes and volumes in a harmonious way. The undulating motion of his mobiles allow light and shadow to illuminate and darken their surfaces, playfully animating evolving perspectives within the space they inhabit.
