Carkeek Park Outdoor Art Exhibit: Heaven
and EarthGerry SteccaThe piece I envisioned is
part of a new approach/technique applied to the use of Wood Clothespins. I
would like to wrap 1 to 3 tree trunks and some branches with a perfectly fit
sheet of clothespins. In no way the tree is harmed, for the material holds
itself by molding its shape to that of the tree.
The order and pattern
in which they are arranged, determines the shape and curves that lead to the
end result. The meaning and intentions of the piece will be let up to the
viewer to determine. Definitely, the environmental message is obvious, as well
as the natural sculptural effect and intriguing use of this very common
artifact.
