I recently worked on an exhibition titled Open Spaces which explored imagery that depicts landscapes from the traditional realm, exemplified by the sculpture “Open Water” (above), to more abstract images, like that depict fish swimming in an abstracted waterscape, "Koi Fish”. The medium is a combination of formed and shaped steel panels with colorfully painted surfaces. The works created for the exhibition range in scale from 24 inch wall hangings to 4 foot tall free standing sculptures that you can walk around and yet see through. All the pieces have cut out spaces, hence the title Open Spaces. This title, Open Spaces, developed because of my fascination with observing light, reflection, and shadow as an essential aspect of sculpture. My goal is to draw the viewer in and present textures, colors, and forms that make you feel alive and delighted. As the viewer moves, the images are ever changing, moving with the viewer. I hope the work will bring a feeling of freedom and release. |
