A Muse of Movement
Debra Ann’s art capitalizes on the oft-overlooked element of movement with mid century inspired mobiles and tabletop stabiles-some of which come in DIY kits that you can assemble yourself!
IN A WORLD THAT CAN OFTEN feel static, Debra Ann’s art is all about movement. The artist, who lives and works in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, creates hanging art mobiles and tabletop stabiles for her company, AtomicMobiles.com.
“Mobiles function by adding movement to still spaces, along with color and shapes,” says Debra. “They bring a Zen calm.” With each piece, she strives to capture the feeling she gets when looking at a Mid Century Modern home, piece of furniture or retro art piece. “It’s a little bit hard to explain, but when I see something Mid Century Modern, it speaks to me. I always attempt to get that delightful feeling when I design my work,” she says.
