Biography
Will Carr is a British sculptor whose kinetic wind sculptures capture the poetry of motion and the unseen rhythms of the natural world. His works transform invisible currents of air into captivating, fluid performances, each sculpture moving with quiet grace, glinting in sunlight, and revealing the ever-changing forces that shape our environment.
With a background in engineering and a lifelong fascination with movement, Will has developed a distinctive practice that bridges art and science. His sculptures are the result of rigorous experimentation and a deep understanding of aerodynamics, weather, and balance. Drawing inspiration from his experiences as a paraglider, he translates his knowledge of wind flow and thermal dynamics into finely tuned forms that respond effortlessly to their surroundings.
Each piece begins as a study in motion, explored through digital modelling, small-scale prototypes, and countless hours of testing in real wind conditions. This meticulous process allows Will to refine how each sculpture moves: not just spinning or rotating, but dancing in complex, fluid patterns that shift with the lightest breeze. The result is a collection of artworks that are not static objects, but living entities, evolving and interacting with nature in real time.
Rooted in the English countryside, Will’s creative process is deeply informed by his environment. Having lived and worked on his family’s farm for most of his life, he has developed an innate connection to the land and a profound respect for the ecosystems that sustain it. His daily proximity to the cycles of weather, growth, and renewal continually feeds into his artistic practice, shaping both his materials and his mindset.
Outside the studio, Will’s passion for the outdoors, from paragliding and climbing to multi-day hiking and camping, keeps him in close dialogue with the forces that inspire his work. These experiences offer not only technical insight into how wind and gravity behave, but also moments of contemplation and play, where observation becomes intuition.
Will Carr’s sculptures are exhibited and commissioned internationally, adorning gardens, landscapes, and public spaces across the world. Each work stands as a meditation on balance, harmony, and the unseen beauty of motion, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural energy that surrounds us all.
