Inside The Genre-Twisting World Of Wire Artist Diane Komater

Diane Komater is an alchemist. Her work turns solids into sculptures that appear almost liquid in the way they flow together and fill a room. As an artist, Komater bends hardened wire to her will, transforming the matter of her materials into soft, fluid lines that dance with shadows to create breathtaking new forms.

There was no pre-existing term for the way she harnesses light and wire to transform a space, so the talented mixed-media artist created her own descriptor: she’s a “wireist.”

When asked to describe what she creates, Komater says simply, “My art is wire sculpture.” But while her answer is literally true, her finished projects evoke a playful grandiosity that seem to demand further descriptors—words like inspired, nonconformist, and intimate all come to mind.
