susan pullman brooks’s orreries are inspired by susan’s interest in modern science, especially the connections suggested by the forms of the very small - atoms and dna, and the very large - planets, moons, galaxies and space; nature expressing itself, orbital movement, and the hidden structure and beauty of randomness in connection. the krylon’s orrery adds a statement to this theme through the use of “hazard” orange - the color that simultaneously draws our attention and warns us to stay away.

susan searches materials from natures processes and in the lost and forgotten remnants of culture. bones, antlers, metal from abandoned farm equipment and rocky ravines at home in western new york, regular trips to india and everywhere she travels. the narrative that appears in her mind, from discovery to realization, is a deep connection to ancient cultures and mythologies, celtic or hindu, and a personal spiritual narrative. familiar objects, assembled in provocative ways, creating arresting compositions in their dynamic and simplicity.
