EllipseCircleView, 2023-24

Particularly inspired by the panoramic vista of Ruffey Lake Park, EllipseCircleView embodies simple geometric forms to encourage contemplation of the immediate surrounds. Drawing from elements of conceptual sculpture, landscape painting, and anamorphic projection, this contemporary artwork comprises two polished stainless steel forms: a circular structure and an ellipse. These intertwining circular forms act as dynamic framing devices of the ever-changing views both up close and from a distance. Of particular interest, the ellipse is proportioned to appear circular at certain points as you circumnavigate the sculpture.
