GRAVITY UNBOUND (FEMALE AND MALE) were commissioned for great collectors, Richard, and Jean Kado. I was contacted by their designer, Sharlie Thigh Interiors in Scottsdale, Arizona. The collectors had two niches on either side of their fireplace. They were looking for something creative to display. After numerous conversations with the designer, I sketched two figures, one male and one female. I proposed that the sculptures be sculpted at 1/2 life size, with fabric wrapped around them and flowing to the ground, elevating them to seven feet.
The idea to suspend them in mid-air adds a sense of energy and movement to the figures.
We decided to engineer the point of attachment on the back of the sculptures, allowing us to fix the sculptures to the wall without a base on the ground. This way the sculptures are visually suspended in air without any visible points of attachment.
The project was a great success, they are my pride and joy. It is displayed at Luis Sottil Galeria de Arte at 400 Beach Dr Ne, Suite 150, St. Petersburg, Fl. 33701. . The editions are 20 artists proof plus 195 open editions for a total of 215 pcs. It is displayed at the Luis Sottil Galeria de Arte at 400 Beach Dr Ne, Suite 150, St. Petersburg, Fl. 33701.
