Welcome to Watson Art Mobilia, I mostly make moving art that I call "mobilia." These include ceiling-hung mobiles made from exotic woods like ebony, wenge, olive and padauk; also, mesmerizing, intricate kinetic sculptures; and finally, a variety of explorations that I call "extra-mobiliar affairs" which include exquisite wooden memorabilia boxes, or "vaults" and a variety of quotidian objects elevated to art.
