“window”
2005
concrete with rebar framework and styrofoam, stainless steel square, green stain, four foot diameter with the “window” fifteen inches…prototype for a park project that never materialized but have had a few commissions making windows for patrons.
i love working with concrete and metal due to it’s bomber qualities but also because of it’s natural qualities in the process. concrete pours remind me of chemistry class mixing, curing and never knowing the outcome! i have always wanted to do various sizes with some laying horizontal for tree’s to grow up through the “window”, people can sit with their backs against the tree’s and read, watch children play or meditate!
with most of my sculptures i place lighting for the effect of illusion of day and night. the different entities always fascinates me and how shadows can create mystery just like the analogy in music when the silence between the notes are the beauty.
