Patrick Shearn's Signature

SKYNET ART SERIES

Patrick Shearn’s

INSPIRATION

Shearn’s Skynet Art Series is inspired by the graceful murmuration of birds flocking together, or schools of fish coalescing and moving simultaneously.  These floating kinetic sculptures are a constant reminder of nature moving around us.  Each site-specific installation reveals unseen natural wind elements unique to that location. These artworks are intentionally constructed from ultra-lightweight materials and rigged inconspicuously to harness wind and activate the piece in a mesmerizing dance.  The resulting artwork offers a peaceful and immersive experience to all who encounter it.
