This is a new landscaped spot for this sculpture in my 3 acre sculpture garden at my residence featuring 50 of my works. This is essentially my gallery and I maintain the 3 flat acres with a little John Deere tractor and try and show the work to it's advantage. This is the best time of the year to see the outdoor pieces because the grounds are still lush with verdant growth from the Spring rains. I have grape arbors, a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees as well as a vegetable garden and a vernal stream,so there is great opportunity for landscape experimentation.This weekend the faculty from the metal arts department of Columbia College in Sonora are going to visit. They found me on the net and asked to visit. I'm not EXACTLY sure what their agenda is but it should be a pleasant exchange at the very least.
Quadrehelix was a piece I had in my head for a couple of years. It was just sort of a brain teaser for me as I had built it in my mind many times.Four rings was all it took. A chance visit to the scrap yard and spotting four identical rolled rings of 1 1/2 pipe was the final act to complete the dream...Quadrehelix,in situ: A simple four fold symmetry made from four rings of pipe cut and welded into spirals.
