The Tompkins County Public Library has announced the exhibition of sculptures created by Francis Charles Moon as the first installation in its new series The Art Behind the Scientist.
Moon, the Joseph C. Ford professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University, carves his pieces from wood native to this area. His pieces are often inspired by mathematical concepts—most notably the Chaos Theory. Moon is the first artist to be featured in the Art Behind the Scientist series, which features work from artists more commonly known for their contributions to the scientific world.
This exhibit will be on display in the Library's Ezra Cornell Reading Room during January and February.
Moon will be available to discuss his work during the Light in Winter Gallery Opening event, Friday, January 22, and the Library will host him for a presentation about his sculpture in February.
