About The Artwork
The dazzling colors and amazing patterns of America’s rich farmland tell a story of growth and promise. These fertile acres seen from far above are bathed in the hues of vibrant crops with their life-giving water. The sculpture accentuates the year’s growth with veined float glass of oranges and yellows, with blues. The Sky Harvest sculpture series tells the story of America’s Heartland as seen from the sky. It is a celebration of that perfect point when Nature and Man work together to create grand patterns of farmland over Indiana, Kansas, Iowa and other states that form our breadbasket. Through the ingenious design of watering circles, tractor paths, crop rows and roads, America’s farmers have created an elegant sculpture in the land. Magnificent geometric shapes are painted by rows of growth, rich with the crops that feed us, nurture us, join us together. I am awed by those patterns as I look down from my airplane seat or study aerial photos. So I have interpreted the patterns as symbols that honor the land, the farmer and the bounty. Four distinct sculptures share substance and depth created by cutting through layers of CorTen steel with focal points highlighted by beautiful art glass. CorTen (sometimes called weathering steel) was chosen for its beautiful rusting properties that signify the color of our soil. The square shape of the top suggests the easy recording of land sales during the land grant era. Squares brought much needed order to the national land-grant system.

United States
William Freer is a New Mexico artist whose work resonates with collectors nationwide. In his gallery and commissioned work, Bill focuses on the drama of lights and darks, creating pure designs that convey the power of the shadow. Re-imagining scenes from nature, from native symbols, from architectural details and art motifs, he carves through layers of paper or steel, always allowing the shadows to tell the story. As light shifts throughout the day, new moods emerge adding subtle movement. His paper sculpture is an oasis of calm and precision, a place of contemplation to collectors. And his steel work is the yang to paper’s yin, where collectors feel the voice of energy, strength and power. Drama springs from many joined layers that make shadows deep and alluring, while rich patinas, a colorful splash of glass and 360-degree rotation add surprise and excitement. He’s happiest when viewers touch and turn his work, feeling its surfaces, experiencing its spirit. With a keen understanding of both the public and private space, his works in paper and in steel appear in individual, corporate and public collections nationwide. He also partners with celebrated public artist Howard Meehan. Bill's recent public art installation (a kinetic work in steel and glass) was purchased by Western New Mexico University. A multi-media artist, Bill is equally at home with computer design programs, CNC equipment and a hammer.
