"Gates" interior Sculpture

Gates is a monumental shift in my work. The use of a continuous line has always been a favorite challenge for my drawing students. I've never challenged myself to do a sculpture based on the principles of a continuous line. Create a sculpture that the solid elements of a sculpture are never severed. This winding sculpture is the result of that experiment. Interesting, that the fundamental tool or theory behind the sculpture doesn't become significant at all. Viewers don't even notice it until it is pointed out. Even then the symmetry, majesty, and clarity of the design are significantly captivating without the involvement of the foundational procedural principles. All of my sculptures are made out of wood (Cedar). They are intended to be placed in an interior environment only. My sculptures are photographed both inside & outside. The interior shots (White background) are intended to give the viewer a sense of what my work would look like in an interior setting. The exterior shots were important to give the viewer a more accurate sense of color and texture, and perfectly balanced natural light without unflattering shadows. I have always had an affinity for creating with wood. Over the years I've restored 10 properties. Several were historic. One is listed on the National Registry of Historic Structures. I've also built wooden boats. My career was dedicated to teaching studio art at three different colleges over a period of 44 years. I've exhibited in NYC, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Florence Italy, Liverpool England, and numerous museums and galleries throughout the US. Creating challenging provocative work has been a life long goal. I consider myself a process artist. My that I mean... I enjoy all aspects making the work. After that I basically leave it in the hands of the gods. Gates is painted a very light Grey. If it's in a room with White wall, it needs to have some subtle contrast. The base of the sculpture fits easily into the 18" slotted base. The base is shipped separately.
