Intrinsic Tempo
Copper-Clad Stainless Steel Sculpture
37” x 22” x 14”
Available from Zenith Gallery
Intrinsic Tempo is a table-top sculpture composed of copper-clad stainless steel intersecting slats. The tempo of the slats emphasize the musculature of the dancer and the rhythm of her movements. It depicts a dancer in mid-turn as she prepares to take the next step.
The nature of the verdigris patina on the copper creates a color-shift depending on the angle viewed and the direction and type of lighting. This is evident from the images.
This dancer is part of my Granularity series which explores the female dancer’s body in more detail. The direction and spacing of intersecting planes of copper are used to emphasize the musculature and rhythm that create the motion. The figure is tabletop size – 37” tall. It is composed of intersecting planes of copper-clad stainless steel. The base is black granite. The piece is fully weatherproof – if you wish to locate them on your patio. If outside, the copper will continue to patina.
