To most people who look at a mobile, it's no more than a series of flat objects that move. To a few, though, it may be poetry.

That others grasp what I have in mind seems unessential, at least as long as they have something else in theirs.

Above all, art should be fun.

A mobile is an abstract sculpture made chiefly out of sheet metal, steel rods, wire and wood. Some or all of these elements move, propelled by electric motors, wind, water or by hand.

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there's no such thing as perfect.

My fan mail is enormous. Everyone is under six.
