"The Wind moves the Waves, the Waves move the Light, and the Light moves us all.

Produktbeschreibung
"The Wind moves the Waves, the Waves move the Light, and the Light moves us all. Spinning, shimmering, responding to the slightest current of air and glimmer of light, George Sherwood's kinetic sculptures invite us to observe, experience, contemplate-in short, to engage more fully in the natural world around us. This monograph marks the first time that this award-winning American artist's sculptural works have been collected into one volume. Featured are 100 sculptures from early whimsical explorations to monumental commissions that have graced private and public gardens, city sites, and exhibition spaces around the world. Sherwood's sculptures are often made of stainless steel, a reflective material that serves to integrate the works into their environments. Changing winds, shades of light, times of day, precipitation, and the seasons transform the works, animate the surroundings, and ignite viewers' imaginations. Complementing the spectrum of artworks is a preface by curator June Lacomb on the critical role that art has in awakening our senses. In her essay, author, historian, and journalist Belinda Rathbone traces the course of Sherwood's explorations of movement and natural forces. An essay by Sherwood shares how he seeks to combine intuitive understanding with the rigorous analysis of engineering, in a profound collaboration with the natural world takes on a life of its own-a celebration of the mystery and magic of wind, waves, and light"--
