Pillars[1] was the recipient of the 2024-2026 Iowa City Sculpture Showcase. It resides currently at Riverfront Crossings Park in Iowa City, Iowa.
Pillars[1] is an invitation to focus. Our current society has our attention so pulled in fragmented, discrete, and fleeting moments that it hardly gives us time to make sense of what we are seeing and experiencing. It is the artist’s hope that this work will allow the viewer a chance to reflect and consider what is seen not only in the work but what is around them and what they bring to the piece. The borders of the pillar focus the eye… but it is what is inside that is brought to life by the active participant!
The powder coated pillar stands 8ft tall and has a 2ft square base. The sides of the pillar are bent angle irons colored aqua with 1/2" coral/white rods warped and twisted on the inside.
If you are interested in owning Pillars[1] then it will be available August of 2026.
