THE JOY of ART #26, Against Gravity, 1987

 

During these increasingly insecure times around the world let’s

savor the quiet joy of discovering art - at Museums, Galleries,

in Life, and within ourselves.

 

These sculptures from 1987 are part of a group of small and 

large abstract sculptures playing with gravity; mass and weight 

are balanced on top of delicate supports. Today, they seem to 

look like ballet dancers. Wooden blocks, coat hangers, glue. 

Height from 16” to 21” (41cm to 53cm).

 

“He who uses simple techniques must not be afraid to appear 

banal”. Henri Matisse.

 

Each of my small and monumental sculptures invites multiple 

points of view, like encountering different sculptures in one. 

 

I want to share the joy of creating art - free of issues, and trends.

Whereas the spirit of the Bauhaus economy guides my art, play

creates it. “No Rules!”, David Smith.
