Gulick comments about is work: "Kinetic Mobile sculpture is like a companion. They occupy space similar to a friend. They converse with us at a deep,inner level. They always influence feelings of calm,ambient wonder.
During the design process of mobiles,I draw from from several sources. In private studio time I am influeced by heroes. Calder,Loyd-Wright,Miro and my favorite painter,Kandinsky.
"A commision dictates focusing on the client. I draw on the surroundings of the site.The overall design of the architecture. Favorite colors and shapes of the client. Enhancing the airspace without competing with the surroundings.
"The common denominator in all my mobiles is the following mindset; To focus design on the 'armature' portion of the piece. Twists and turns draw your eye into kinetic movement even when the piece is static. The intertwining motion hides the 'points-of-contact' of the armatures. The 'balast' parts are a color and shape enhancement,as opposed to being the chief focus as one would see in most mobiles."
