IN THE STILLNESS, MOVEMENT

Rotating painted and polished aluminum, painted stainless steel

10ft.10in. h x5ft.6in diameter rotation 2022

The initial concept for this sculpture was to incorporate the duality of movement activating the stainless steel crescent and painted aluminum "bird." The details show the stainless steel crescent rotates in opposition to rotating painted and polished aluminum.

The internal movement of the body when standing still often referenced by performers and dancers inspired this sculpture.

Shown at Fordham University Lincoln Center, NYC and the Elaine Benson Gallery where it was purchased for a private collection in Southampton, NY. The details show the stainless steel crescent rotates in opposition to rotating painted and polished aluminum
