By Julia Ruecker, Interior
Architect, Stuttgart, Germany

Space!
Space subconsciously is often
mistaken as void or emptiness.

My main interest as Interior
Architect it is to unveil the
true nature of this Nothing,
to experience space, to make
it noticeable.
Christopher Gulick’s art
explores, occupies, emphasises
and stimulates space.

Artist Statement for Christopher Gulick

My primary focus is the visual kinetics of sculpture.
Open air always provides a blank canvas for movement of shape and color. Architectural lines and the motion of nature are primary inspiration for my work. My designs come from three basic mindsets: mechanical, organic, or a combination of the two. The design goal is building the piece to appear kinetic to the eye, even when the work is static

Works are typically suspended, but some are also wall mounted and free standing. I work on site-specific commissions as well as my own studio projects. Sizes vary from one foot in diameter (air space displacement) to 15 feet or more for a single piece.

Materials range from aluminum rod to stainless steel or alloy types of rod for the “armatures”. Materials for “ballast” (or positive space) vary from sheet metal to acrylic to found material objects.

Kinetic Mobile sculptures are 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 several sources. In private studio time I am influenced by modern architecture, the organic lines of nature, Calder, Lloyd-Wright, Miro and Kandinsky.
A commission 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. I make efforts to enhance 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 "ballast" parts are a color and shape enhancement, as opposed to being the chief focus as one would see in most mobiles.
Please allow me to assist you in enhancing your visual surroundings.
