Untitled steel sculpture
Untitled steel sculpture
I wanted to make a time-based project which would evolve visually and functionally. When we were living in Seattle, we went to a sculpture garden where an artist had built a "wall" of twine on a tree and over time the moisture had caused the taught twine to loose its tensile strength and sag. I felt that this was an interesting transition from a form that resembled geometric wire to a organic hair; I wanted to use a similar concept but instead of integrating it with another organic form, to use a geometric cold form. So I built a 5 pointed shape our of steel, but the shape is only loosely connected. Without the tensile strength of the twine, it will fall apart. Over time, I will photograph this piece as it changes and morphs and eventually falls apart. Special thanks to our friends Jayson and Felicia for letting us put this up in their backyard.
