Artist Comments
Sculpture is an art form meant to be viewed and to provide visual delight from every angle, and Aeriel obliges by literally shifting its pose whether the viewer remains stationary or not. Part of the interest for me in building these pieces is the surprise the two dimensional design I lay out excites as I contort the metal and mold it into undulating form and put it in motion. That it continues to surprise me, the maker, gives me hope that it will inspire wonder in those who come to view it in the larger world.
