ANNE LILLY crafts kinetic sculptures out of rods, T-bars, disks, arcs, and tripods. Lilly, who used to be an architect, builds many different movement mechanisms into each sculpture, and the movement of each element affects that of the next and the whole. The motorized ones move automatically, but some require the viewer to set them spinning, and they spin so unexpectedly when you touch them it feels as if you're making magic. As Cate McQuaid explains, the lines of each sculpture are crisp, the forms simple geometry, but the movement is not at all mechanical. Rather, it has the grace and unpredictability of a feather drifting in the wind.
