Life has many twists and turns. Like a river, life's course never flows straight, but always changes with each day.
Graffiti/street artists have always impressed me with their talent and insight into the human condition. I'm also greatly influenced by Richard Serra, a sculptor who produces massive pieces out of sheets of thick steel.
My proposal is a 30' sculpture done in reclaimed ship steel in a graffiti/street art style that represents the idea that although life never runs in a straight line, you should always continue onward, keeping your head up and shooting for your goals.

It's upwardly mobile. I see glimpses of Rocky - the yellow, the twists as in intestines...

This is really serious art. It reminds me of the sculpture in the Balboa Park sculpture garden and the LACMA.--Heather
ReplyDeleteRocky, love your sculpture! Sent a comment earlier, but it must not have posted. Great idea for a college campus: "keep moving upward." The color is right, the size is right, the site is right, and the placement is right. I think it's a "go."

As I look at it again, I like the way it reads from different angles. Get the sense that, if someone were to stand in the center of the arrows, they would be caught in a mysterious vortex and levitate off the ground. Should be paired-up with Jason's work.

ReplyDeleteBravo! When do you plan on starting, can I come to the unvailing. Very creative, great scale, fluidity in action. That's what we're talking about, film at 11:00. Are you sure you aren't Pablos' little brother? I think I like it. Jim
