Pivot-in-Gold is inspired by the figurative abstraction of Picasso.  It is part of my Cadence Series which explores how abstraction and the graphic use of 2 saturated colors affects our sense of a dancer’s movements.  While other series use the repetition of slats to effect a sense of motion and musculature; this series uses fewer planes of steel but often in alternating colors to explore the same ideas.  The less dense artworks are by necessity and design more abstract.  The abstraction allows the viewer more leeway to interpret and interact with the sculpture. 

It is composed of powder-coated steel.  The assembly includes welding, bending, and riveting components.  The refined finish created by the powder-coating enhances the refinement of the sculpture. 

Please note that while the sculpture is completed, a custom crate will likely need to be created which might take up to 2 weeks.
