Sensational Seagrass

     

    Here we are, installing Beneath II, with 800 metal tubes planted directly into the lawn.  Inspired by seagrass, my aim was to create a sculpture planted in circular swirls that follow the natural slope of the land.   Hopefully, people of all ages, are enticed to leave the asphalt sidewalk and stroll, crawl or roll right into the art installation.

    You may visit Beneath II, at 67 Grove Street, Sandwich, MA  from May - October 2013.  It is on display with works by three other artists in the outdoor art exhibit called, Moving Landscapes, at Heritage Museums and Gardens.

    When you go, I'd love to see a photograph of yourself and friends in and around the tubes... post it on my facebook page if you think of it..Angela Rose Art.   Have fun!

 

Thanks to Christine Hochkeppel, photographer for the Cape Cod Times for taking these photos.  For more photos of the group installation visit the online gallery:

Doubling Down

Double the number of metal tubes, with just 10 days left before install...who DOES that?

I like to say the "Landscape made me do it."

Responding to site is a lot like being responsive to loved ones...when they need something, call for something, desire something, well, you just naturally want to try to meet the need.  It's like that with building sculpture in the landscape...the landscape becomes a co-creator, and if I can tune in to what it tells me...the experience is just that much more thrilling.

In order to meet this new 'requirement,' yesterday, I hired one more intern, ordered 500 more tubes and 200 more rebar.  I have to wait a few days before they arrive... and the clock is ticking.

I'm calm though, because the process, whether it's 100 tubes or 750 tubes is the same...so all I have to do, really, is work the process.  Here it is in photos: 

 

Each tube has a sticky bar code label that has to be removed.

Each tube gets a cap glued onto one end.

 

Each tube is gently bent,

 like a blade of grass blowing in a breeze.
