Sculpture by Lee Badger
Cabinetree, 2005
Polychromed Steel
45 ½" x 23" x 16 ¾" (H x W x D)
Cabinetree contrasts the forces of Nature with the built environment we try to impose on them.
We surround ourselves with engineered rectangular shapes and structures where straight lines, flat surfaces and right angles abound. But this rigid man-made geometry competes with the organic forms and curving contours of the natural world.
Powers of the wild break through our efforts to straighten things out, square them up and box them in.
