Sculpture 2001

GREAT CIRCLE #1 2001
Concrete and paint 225′ x 2′ x 8″ This site specific installation runs along a north-south meridian. In the S. T. Griswold Company Sculpture Park, in Williston, Vermont, it is near an international airport, and can be seen by passengers as airplanes approach or take off. I imagine the line is the beginning of a journey around our earth through both poles and back.

GREAT CIRCLE #1 2001 Concrete and paint 225′ x 2′ x 8″ The dotted line of concrete shapes going north continues visually across the fence with same size painted black rectangles on the pavement near the sales office of S. T. Griswold Company. Friends Jane Taylor and John McConnell apply finishing touches to the painted surfaces. The black rectangles are soon just a memory after ton heavy S. T. Griswold cement mixers drive back and forth raising dust that covers the pavement.

ODYSSEY OF LIGHT Winter solstice alignment of the reflected sunbeams. People gather for warmth and to create a shadow so the cross is more visible.

GREAT CIRCLE # 1 2001
concrete and paint 225′ x 2′ x 8″ Part of the S. T. Griswold Company’s sculpture park, the sculpture pieces were cast in their “state of the art” architectural casting division. The surfaces are beautifully finished; one viewer recently mistook the shapes for marble.

UNSPOKEN TRUTH FROM THE HEART 2001
steel 3′ x 4′; x 2′. My interpretation of the Japanese kanji “kokoro” or the Chinese, “shin”, it means “mind”, “heart”, “spirit” and “feeling”.

UNSPOKEN TRUTH FROM THE HEART 2001
steel 3′ x 4′; x 2′. My son, a Japanese Literature professor, helped me with the four-character inscription cut into the angle leg of the sculpture. It is a Chinese aphorism, directly translated meaning, “reaching enlightenment through the heart without using words”. My writer (and photographer) husband and I loosely translate it “unspoken truth from the heart”.

ODYSSEY OF LIGHT
Two 16′ tall aluminum poles with 6″ x 24″ focused mirror boxes create a sun-reflected cross at solar noon (the time in a day when the sun is at its highest) on spring and fall equinox, and on winter solstice. The cross falls at the center of the Community Labyrinth at All Saints Episcopal Church in South Burlington, VT.
