This year’s honoree, Lin Emery, is an acclaimed kinetic sculptor whose works resound with the powerful forms and forces of nature. She notes, “my work is kinetic...and the elements [causing movement] are derived from nature. I borrow natural elements — wind, water, magnets — to set them in motion. The rhythms are influenced by infinite variables: the points of balance, the normal frequency of each form, the interruption of the counterpoise.”
We are proud to honor Emery’s graceful sculptural masterworks at this auspicious 80th anniversary celebration.
Lin Emery (b.1928) is a celebrated sculptor and Sculptors Guild member based in New Orleans, LA. She is represented by Arthur Rogers Gallery in New Orleans and Kouros Gallery in New York CIty. She has studied at Columbia University, the Sorbonne University in Paris, and the New York Sculpture School.
