Robert Mangold
My artistic interest in
motion is based upon my knowledge and understanding of macro and microcosmic
relationships of time, space, and motion. I am fascinated by nature, the motions
of clouds and plants in the air; birds and bugs flying, hopping and crawling;
fish swimming, water falling, flowing, freezing, thawing; the sun, moon, planets
and stars tied in their dance by kinetic and static energies; and the knowledge
of unseen but known motions of microscopic and atomic activities all
interrelated in an eternal birth, life, death, and rebirth cycle. I am
fascinated by man-made mechanical, quasimechanical and electrochemical time,
space, motion as I am by the dynamic and energetic activities of nature. All
this constantly colors my personality and affects my ego. I incorporate my deep
awareness of the simple nature of complex existence into my understanding of
man's efforts and success in controlling nature. The "PTTSAAES" series of
sculpture is my best effort to make a simple non-verbal statement about me-us
and all that. "PTTSAAES" - Point, Traveling, Through, Space, At, An, Erratic,
Speed.
