The Tompkins County Public Library will host Professor Frank Moon for a discussion about his work as a sculptor Wednesday, February 3 at 6:00 PM in the Ezra Cornell Reading Room.
Moon's sculptures, which are currently on display at the Library, are the first works to be exhibited as part of the Library's Art Behind the Scientist series.
A professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University, Moon has traveled extensively and uses his knowledge of different cultures and science as inspiration in his sculptures. His works portray a range of scientific theories including the Theory of Chaos, exhibited in his piece Chaotic Woman, and Catastrophe Theory, shown in the piece Butterfly Catastrophe. Mrs. Boo and African Caryatid demonstrate his empathy for native cultures, while Wounded Gull shows poignantly how sensitively he is able to capture nature. Moon's talk will elaborate on these influences.
This talk is free and open to the public and is appropriate for all ages including children aged ten and up. For more information, contact Sally Grubb at sgrubb@tcpl.org, or call 272-4557 ext 232.
