Walnut & Cherry Woods,
Steel 33" x 33" x 78" 1990 |
| The
Keeper in You Are Our Keeper can be taken to mean one who
protects or one who controls. The "arms" of the wooden
figures are used as semaphores to translate the rhythms of a liturgical
poem used in the High Holy Day service into a visual motif, illustrating
both the security and rigidity of repetitive pattern. The female
figures are placed on the base as if they were being controlled
like pieces on a chessboard, but the weight and mass of their group
gives them their own power. The sculpture is intended to question
the nuances of the phrase "you are our keeper", which appears in
the poem. |
