12ft.6in. h x18ft. l x 7ft.6in. diameter rotation 1997/2000
In Getting There, a sinuous black line of painted steel is topped with a Möbius
curve of aluminum that oscillates, rotates and pivots in the wind. I utilize the
paradoxical principle of the Möbius loop as a motion source. The effect is an
elegant and witty response to nature.
Getting There was partially sponsored by the Michener Art Museum, and then
displayed at the Elaine Benson Gallery. As a result, the Nobel Laureate, Dr. James
Watson, purchased the sculpture for his Cold Spring Harbor Labs exhibition
Sculpture By The Sea.
