This piece is done in human scale because I find that people react well to something that is about the same size as they are. With touching and then interpretation, a bonding occurs, helping them to ask themselves, “What exactly is going on here?” Good stuff.
Getting people to stop and think was my battle cry going into this piece. I worked at it for about 6 months very casually as I had many other projects going on. It was nice to continually come back to develop and refine the form. The stone just wanted to go this direction and I followed its lead. The surface is polished to 600 grit which keeps the stone subtle, yet gives a fantastic reflection as you move around it.
If you find yourself in Lake Oswego, Oregon sometime in the next year or so, go down to 2nd & Evergreen and pay a visit. With that I bid you all the best in creating and exploring new form, and I thank the hard working staff that invited me to be included in this issue of Sculpture NorthWest.
