Cycling

September 15, 2012

Been thinking about this piece for quite a while. Saw apiece using numerous circle shapes that I liked a lot. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I wanted to do something using an old bicycle wheel (rusty of course). With it I would use lots of circular and elliptical found objects and painted arches. These would  be representative of cyclical patterns in life ... of revisiting our past and our future ... of the connective  nature of all things, whether animate or inanimate. This piece is about our journey ... our cycle ... to our past and to our future. The old bike wheel and the piece off of an old wire reel seemed to provide just the right "vehicle" for the piece.
