Statement
"Skylines" is
a sculpture designed for an urban setting. Its job is to draw the
mind's eye toward the ties that bind the natural world to that man-made
setting. The architecture of the base suggests the angular, geometric
construction of so much of what we associate now with modern urban
construction. Zigzagging its way to vertical, it transitions from
the angular to the organic curves and cloud shapes that refract
light, both natural and man-made, playing off the stainless steel
forms aloft. It further transitions from implied movement to actual
kinetic shape shifting in reaction to the play of air. It is a curiosity
magnet first and foremost. Its most basic mission is to inspire
wonder and delight, and elicit the curiosity to draw you back to
see how it behaves each day as the weather fortune blows our way.
