"Thirst" - Repurposed steel rods, 48"x92"x92"

 

"Thirst" is my first large scale metal work. It was commissioned by the town of Matha, France (near Cognac and Bordeaux) to be installed on top of a public fountain and emphasize the importance of water. For inspiration, I looked back to one of my big influences: Alexander Calder. He brought movement to the stationary world of sculpture. I wanted to approach Calder's idea of mobility in sculpture by making the viewer the mobile element. By placing images on different planes, the image changes as the viewer sees it from different angles .
