This sculpture is the sheet of metal from which the "Insulators" sculpture has been cut. The artist, Paul Goodrick, has positioned it about half a mile away from the "postitive" version, so as to create a contrast and comparison. At first the link is not obvious, since attention is focused on the hard steel forms rather than the gaps and spaces. It has also been left in its natural form as a steel plate, and nature will therefore take its course more rapidly than the painted Insulator sculptures. It serves two other interesting purposes. The steel shapes and forms are individual sculptures themselves, thus metamorphosing the original electrical insultors even more. On the other hand, the spaces created by the cutting of the shapes have become frames through which nature all around can be seen. In this way the link between made items and natural things is strengthened. It is made from 10 mm steel plate mounted on steel poles set in concrete. |
