Symbiosis/Even Steven Sculpture by Glenn H. Smith

Completed Commission!

Glenn H Smith December 4, 2015

I want to share with you my latest completed commissioned sculpture "Symbiosis/Even Steven". This piece was meant to be exhibited in a very specific location. The requirements were 17' by 30" tall space. The focus of this work is to insist on a balance of nature and technology. within the sculpture is hidden images and words that speak quietly to the viewer and inadvertently causes closer investigation. Made with Wood, steel, glass, metal, it appears heavy but reads airy.

Please take a look at some of the detail photos and feel free to reach out and contact me with any questions or feedback.

Thanks

My O.C.D. & Two Projects On The Bench

It has been a busy couple days for me at my shop/studio. The piece below is what I'm calling "Peep Show", an engaging sculpture that will take a very close examination.

This is another peice that I am also working on call "Warning Signs". It is based out of a lawn mower given to me be the renowned artist Richard Carter. I decided to take the caution stickers to heart and build off of that.

Below is the motor that has been given my touch and I am liking the way it is coming together.

New Work in Progress: "Peep Show, LFL"

Glenn H Smith July 8, 2015

Sometime things fall perfectly in place. When I look for elements that inspire me or better, speak to me, I listen closely.

We all have somewhat quiet desires, desires that we keep for ourselves. Those thoughts could be of want, or hate: love or needs. This amazing saw with it case spoke of secrets.

I plan on adding a "bait" touch to this to draw the viewer in for closer examination, almost a guilty glance.

I look forward to share the progress of this peice and hope that it causes you to look inside of yourself.

Mechanical Pencil

Pencil Sculpture Competition work in progress.

We have an amazing artist resource here in the Roaring Fork Valley, deep in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. This Mecca is the Wyly Art Center. This is a soup to nuts arts organization with galleries, art classes, lectures, you name it, all based in the small town of Basalt.

One of the "call to action" events is a sculpture competition to have local artist pay tribute to a pencil...that is how I interpreted it.

So above is the foundation of my entry. It may be too literal but I like being overly literal, it's a gift. So I will be posting the progress and I always welcome your input.

I am feeling great about this sculpture honoring the pencil. The is not the base of course, the base will be a structure baried in the ground and the object will appear to be somewhat floating. Pretty sweet. Stay tuned
