Stainless Stele

Detail from the steel sculpture Stainless Stele, by Bruce West.

I visited Bruce's website and found that you have captured his characteristic works very well. Simple and strong composition!

I should've included a link. His site is www.brucewestsculptures.com. The steles are in the "Free Standing" category; this one's Stainless Stele #2. I drive by it frequently, and have long appreciated that it's sited with a clearing to the west, enabling it to catch the warm light of the late afternoon sun (on clear days, anyway). Steel's reflectivity makes an outdoor setting, with its ever-changing light, synergistically magical for such a sculpture.

Don, haven't visited in a while. This is a real beauty and a fine abstract of an abstract (I guess) sculpture.

I really enjoy abstracts that have facial resemblance, this one is very strong in that regard, with an expression that is really quite peculiar. Sternly surprised confusion, with eyebrow quizzicaly reaised. Also, a nasty scar across the right eye. Don, this shot moves my imagination amazingly.

i'm back.. and i think i'm seeing a zany warthog-rhino cross
