Abstract
My recent interest in the use of cubic forms and rectangular solids led to the use of shapes that have a dynamic emphasis through the horizontal and vertical stresses of movement which interact in terms of structural and spatial dynamics. I have organized these shapes around an imaginary vertical axis which tends to produce a stasis or symmetrical equilibrium. Through the medium of photomontage I have created a series of sculptural juxtapositions or interactions between my work and several local environments. An important outgrowth of my creative work has been the mobility in scale that a piece appears to have when it functions as a plastic element in architectural settings. Many aesthetic decisions were made as I sought to relate my pieces to particular sites. Photographs show the interest and variety of solutions that I have found to the problem of relationship concerning sculpture and architectural environments. I have found that the stabilization of interaction between the piece and its site became the most interesting and creative aspect of the problem considered.
