WATERHOUSE & DODD, New York is pleased to announce Norman Mooney: New Work an exhibition of new wall sculptures and drawings which explore the natural world through a physical indulgence in the process of making. It is Mooney’s first solo show with the gallery.

Norman’s work is at once physical and metaphysical. His works explore the elemental and cyclical synergies of nature. Materiality, pattern, scale and experience are key concerns within his practice. Norman’s methodology is one of experimentation and process The new Sun series, laser cut drawings in stainless steel and bronze sheet, stacked layer upon layer appear to be in a constant state of motion. The Star series, cast translucent glass in vibrant colors, employs light and shadow as its main medium pushing the work beyound the limits of its physical form. Norman challenges our relationship with nature, questioning our inertial frame of reference and engaging us in a heighten awarness of the present.
