.jpg) Comma, 1996Steel and ferro-concrete stucco 120" x 78" x 78" (H x W x D) Until recently, Comma appeared at Wachovia Plaza in Roanoke, VA. It was one of eight sculptures in the city's first temporary exhibition of public art. Now, it has returned to the Anvil Works studio and workshop for reconditioning in preparation for its next exhibition. Comma is kinetic and meant to be touched and rotated, allowing viewers to interact with curving shapes and shadows that change from every angle and direction. The spiral form evokes both rotary motion and spiral progression. Comma is rich with familiar associations. Spheres on the spiral tips suggest heavenly bodies in the swirling universe. Other viewers find aquatic or nautical allusions and see the spiral disk as a rolling wave or a rotating sail. |
