Lin Emery at NOMA

Walk up the grand marble staircase to the second floor of the museum and turn to your right and cross into the newer building and turn left. There's a treasure trove of Lin Emery's sculptures on exhibit. Movement, sound, and polished aluminum whirl around the white walls flashing reflected light from these kinetic works.

I watch with delight as we bring students into this space. There is a moment of silence while they take in the space.  One of the boys that toured last week said that he saw people and that we are all "connected."

I believe that the artist would have smiled had she been observing others observing her work.

While the docents were learning about this body of work, I sat underneath "Cumulus." The gentle rhythm and movement bounced the light all around me. I could even see myself in the work. Perhaps this is what our young guest saw. We observe and are brought into the sculpture. It's movements encircle us and draws us into the dance.

Please come and sit with Lin Emery's works for awhile. You may feel the connections, too.

The exhibit runs through January 12, 22014.
