Hidden Radiance II

The installation features two organic wall sections that project from their stone environment and is accompanied by two curved elements suspending from the ceiling. Working with silicon bronze for the first time, I discovered in its raw state the material appears reddish, like the color of a brick. During polishing it becomes a golden color with the warmth of the red glowing from within.

Assisted by Wayne LaPierre, I traced the placement of the hand cut granite on a large sheet of acetate. I coordinated the location of the forms with the stones to develop attachments for the relief

HIDDEN RADIANCE II

Suspended rotating, shaped, silicon bronze, accompanying wall relief projecting on granite wall, reflected light.

The commission enabled me to work in silicon bronze for the first time. Gentle breezes enable the suspensions to rotate and create light patterns on the floor. The design was inspired by the movement of water.
