The Maker
Larkin Rhinehardt is an interdisciplinary sculptor whose work focuses on manipulation of spaces and sensory stimuli to induce novel experiences. Much of his work is inspired by and in service to natural phenomena and scientific principles. Through exploration of the manufactured world and its influence on human perception, his works prompt the viewer to think more carefully about how they perceive and interact with the physical world. His works often use integration of luminary sculpture, actively generated soundscapes, and the spaces in which they exist to create enveloping installations.
In addition to purely sculptural work, he brings his unique skill set and perspective to the world of custom lighting. Combining years of manufacturing knowledge with a sculptor’s eye for the gestalt, he creates unique engaging and lighting for both commercial and residential installation.
