finally! it’s been a long winter for me but i took the “opportunity” to finish this sculpture – just in time for pentecost. This is made of copper wire and steel and is about 11.5″ square by 3′ tall.

Homage to Richard Serra

Posted on July 12, 2012 by kccoo

Of Richard Serra’s massive steel sculptures, I’ve visited Toqued Ellipses at the DIA in Beacon, NY, The Matter of Time at the fabulous Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain and Five Plates, Two Poles in Washington DC at the National Gallery of Art.

My personal favorites are the immense curved structures in and through which a visitor can walk, thus becoming a part of the installation.

Here is my tiny sculpture (8 x 9 x 8 cm). (A bit of whimsy – the little people in and around the sculpture – we are always getting mail for the misspelled Copper Family.)
