Wind Sculptures- A Combination Of Engineering And Art

By Sarah Ramsey


We humans are the only beings on Earth that have the intellectual capacity to express creativity and emotion through art. There are many forms of art. Some of them like painting, music, poetry, dance, cinema, architecture and sculpture are considered traditional.

Every now and then, there arises a sort of art which releases a wave of creativity amongst artists worldwide. Kinetic wind sculpture is one of those art forms. Wind sculptures take advantage of the power of the wind to create powerful movement and communication with the environment.

Like synthetic trees, wind sculptures are powered by the wind. They seem one with nature. Seeing these sculptures dancing and twirling is a one of a kind experience. Wind sculptures stick out from other art forms due to the fact that the wind actually takes a breath of life into them as they weave in thin air. The form and scale of these installations is limited just by the artist's creativity and imagination. The possibilities are virtually endless.

Wind sculptures are like wind chimes on steroids. They're normally comprised of numerous relocating parts. The materials range from metal, wood, glass to PVC. Really, any material which could support itself in the wind can be made use of to make wind sculptures. A lot of artists choose to only use organic materials.

Theo Jansen, Lyman Whitaker and Mark White are the biggest names in this art form. As a highly creative medium, wind sculptures have a high degree of mechanical integrity. Most wind sculptors say that their goal is to make the observer think about his surroundings and his unity with nature as he looks at the installations.

Wind sculptures are truly distinct productions because they merge matter with natural energy. They could make you consider your own existence and your reason for being here on earth. Wind sculptures are stunning.
