Any Possible Relation - Wallingford, CT, 2009
Any Possible Relation was commissioned by John Forry, who I met in my Brooklyn studio in 2005. His dream was to donate a figurative bronze and make it a public piece of art that people would pass by daily. I was in the midst of enlarging my sculpture “Freedom Bound” and was sculpting each figure on its own rolling modeling stand. It was in moving them around and rotating them that I realized that the figures encompassed so many different emotions as they moved. That is when the idea of a motorized pedestal came to me, and we created gears and belts to move the heavy bronzes, ever so slowly, so that they would never be in the same position as a person passed by. Every hour, it would become a new sculpture with a different interpretation. It is permanently exhibited at the performing arts center at Choate prep school. I have seen the students from the art department go over to it and draw from it – hoping to capture the position before it moves again.
