Alexander Cadler is sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to art. He does works in painting, drawing, sculpting, even a little bit of preforming. He is most widely known for his innovative forms of art, like his 3D wire "drawings". Instead of the traditional style of pen to paper, Cadler uses wire to sculpt drawing like pieces of people and animals.
Cadler was also very innovative in larger scaled pieces such as his work with mobiles. The first of there kind, the mobiles take the idea of sculptures only being still works of art and throwing that away. These mobiles were made to have balance throughout the entire structure, and had the ability to move by push of a person or by the air.

I love the simplicity of Calder's works! Another thing I appreciate is the juxtaposition of visual flatness and solid structure, especially of the hanging sculptures. I can see how it inspired you in the wire shoe you made. Keep working!
