Ned Kahn

Ned Kahn is what is called an environmental artist. No he is not about trying to save the enviroment through art. His work is about expressing the enviroment. About revealing things that cannot been seen and doing so in a artistic way. This would include making things that move when wind or water hit them. Changing the patterns of smoke through hair currents. Even revealing light in a new way through the effects of wind or rain. He would probably classify himself as part scientist part artist. Much of his work involves complex calculations and figuring out how to make the invisible environment visible. I am a very big fan of his work because of how he's trying to connect people into what cannot be controlled. Yes much of his work does have patterns but they are patterns that are uncontrollable. In a way, through his work he is trying to show the acts of the divine. How there is some supernatural force out there and it influences us in the same way that the unpredictable wind influences his pieces.
