Sam Wade Kinetics
Moving Sculpture
I like to think my kinetic sculptures tread a fine line between art and engineering, exploring the long tradition of form-through-motion by combining movement and machinery with, I hope, a degree of precision, humour and truth to materials.
I work mainly in stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, perspex and wood to construct a sculpture rather than carve or cast it.
Kinetic: 'an assemblage or sculpture, made up of parts designed to be set in motion by an internal mechanism or an external force.'
I am Vice President of Visual Arts Scotland VAS, and a professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists, SSA. I worked as a civil engineer in England before developing my interest in sculpture when my career brought me to Scotland more than 30 years ago. I now live in the beautiful Scottish Borders and exhibit widely
throughout the UK.
I am happy to work to commission
