Overview
Convergence, 12' h x 8' l x 9' d; fabricated stainless steel & bronze
Goals
The client was seeking a gateway sculpture that would invite creative exploration and engage both residents and the greater community. In addition, the client desired a sculpture that would integrate with the building's overall theme of photography, which included its namesake of "Aperture" and the fine art photography that adorns the walls of the interior space.
Process
The project commenced during the per-construction phase of the building. The artist had extensive conversation with client, architect, structural engineers and landscape architects to coordinate all aspects of presentation and installation.
Additional Information
In the artist's words, "Convergence celebrates the moment of commitment; fragile as it waits to become, yet strong as it tips into reality. Like the shutter of a camera snatching a single moment in time and giving it permanence.
