Steward Readings: Compression and Expansion

Richard Serra  sculptures really fascinate me. The one image in the book caught my eye so I had to look at more of his work. There was an interview with him and he states,"I’m interested in the clarity of building, in gravity, in the tendency to overturn, in the exactitude of measure, the addition and subtraction of weight, the rotation of weight. I’m interested in mass."

There is just something about large masses of work that you become very much aware of your surroundings. To me it gives the ability to see the  unlimited workspace that one can work within.

Here are some more images:

  1. Nice. Richard Serra! Did you read about Tilted Arc--piece in the 1980s? It was a highly controversial installation and was ultimately removed after community protest. Craziness!
