Artist Reuben Margolin has spent the last ten years making kinetic sculptures inspired by wave motion. Seeking to combine the logic of mathematics with the sensuousness of nature, Reuben built a series of monumental mechanical mobiles that have been exhibited internationally, including at the Aquarium of the Pacific.  He received his BA from Harvard University, has studied at art schools in Russia and Italy, and has been an artist in residence in Spain and India.
