This exhibition will feature three monumental kinetic sculptures approximately 10-14 feet in height. Emery’s kinetic sculptures produce constantly changing relationships through the ever-varying configuration of their parts. As Emery says, “Sculpture is living, it’s vital, it’s changeable. Even when you walk around it, it can be something different. Drawing is a reflection and coordinating eye and hand, but sculpture is your mind and an idea.”

Emery’s sculpture is inspired by the forms and forces of nature. Her material of choice, polished marine aluminum, is ideal for capturing the reflections of nature that surround the piece. “I love the natural movement of the trees on the levees, the river, and anything in nature,” she says. Her pieces not only capture the images of their surroundings but cast dancing reflections on them.

Emery has exhibited throughout the United States as well as in England, Japan, Australia, Germany and France. In 1996 Emery had an acclaimed comprehensive retrospective exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art. In 1997 she completed an immense abstract kinetic sculpture for placement in Osaka, Japan and was awarded the Grand Prize for Public Sculpture in Japan. Emery also installed a major sculpture in the Zen Garden of the Hohen-in Temple in Kyoto, Japan. In Louisiana, her public commissions can be seen throughout the state at sites including the Louisiana State Library in Baton Rouge, Knight Oil Tools and The Neurological Hospital in Lafayette, The Renaissance Arts Hotel and the Inter-Continental Hotel in New Orleans.
