| HAIKU: Allegro con audacia |
You are here: PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONS > Concerto in Three Movements > HAIKU: Allegro con audacia
 | Haiku is a large spherical sculpture composed solely of short steel rods hand welded with a chrome powder coat. The essence of the sculpture is the ability of short straight repetitive elements configured in various rhythmic patterns to transform perception into a spherical work, much as the Haiku in poetry juxtaposes two images and a kireji that signals the moment of separation and colors the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related. It is the relation of the objects and their juxtaposition by the artist that transforms short straight “energy events” into the curvilinear swirl of a sphere, a dichotomy of straight into curved. As the opening movement in the Concerto, the directions are that it should be played lively but with boldness. Each individual rod is an energy event and part of the swirling matrix that forms the sphere. Constantly in motion, there is a staccato rhythm to the interaction of the individual rods as they transform their seeming randomness into patterns, swirls, and finally a sphere. |
