The Mobile is a unique blend of engineering and artistry. I believe that a mobile should be more than just a series of repetitive shapes balanced at the end of wires. The structure should be a cohesive composition of form, color, and motion. Each part is essential to the whole, every connection carefully chosen to choreograph the interaction of the various elements, designing by intent instead of necessity. I strive to give each of my sculptures a life of their own, a poetry of motion in space. Sophisticated yet playful, whimsical yet meditative – a tangible expression of infinite possibility.

Andrew Cronan is a 38 year old native of Silver Spring, Maryland. He spent the earlier part of his life as a closet art fanatic, building small mobiles to liven up his cubicle. For the last eight years he has been seriously studying and producing mobiles and other metal sculptures. His current series of figurative animal mobiles is breaking new ground in the genre of mobile sculptures. He has been working as an artist full time for the last four years.
