Monumental yet delicate, Pae White’s hanging sculptures are kaleidoscopic compositions of delicate strands of thread gently weighted by cut papers, as well as silk-screened pieces of steel. In her practice, the artist pays particular attention to the space surrounding her works, moved by the desire to build a connection between the latter and her oeuvres. White’s mobiles have a mystifying allure: as they engage with the lights and reflect themselves all around, they animate their surroundings and invite the viewers to experience the space they are in under new circumstances. Challenging the traditional idea of what sculpture is, or should be, her mobiles are reduced to what the artist herself calls “an exploration of movement contained in a flurry of color and gentle movement”.
