Statement My initial interest and departure point comes from observations of electrical pylons that carry high voltage power lines across the land. It has been my desire to take a static structure that is common in our daily visual vocabulary and bring it to life in hopes of changing our visual perception of an otherwise mundane object. In this most recent work I have continued to investigate movement in the pylon structures to create a transformation from something inanimate into animate. I first solidify the forms using steel as my medium to give them more visual weight and presence. I further enhance the forms using color on the surface to create a visual noise using line, color and the physical mark. This sculpture is a continuation of a body of work that stems back over a course of ten years. David Martin |
