The Twins are the result of a flexible sculpture idea I wanted to make. I have observed and experienced a change in attitude toward sculpture and mine in particular and from this<br />
observation I made the Twins.<br />
<br />
The change I see is people taking the image and experience of my sculpture and making it their own in a variety of ways.<br />
<br />
My sculpture is a point of departure for them; from which they begin creating from it their own.<br />
<br />
Seeing this I decided to take their position of the observer of my own work by taking it back and making it my own again in any position I chose!!! I get to be the creator the observer and the manipulator. <br />

If you've ever wondered how the Scholar Stones are made here is a rough visual on that.<br />
As you can see the steel sets the shape in this first stage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The steel is covered with galvanized lathing shaping it further. That part on the bottom I removed once I new it would sit on the pine platform; see below . The last stage is concrete built up in layers over the lathing. The platforms are made of white pine from trees that fell in our most resent tornado.<br />

Here it is in company with another scholar stone on it's pine platform. I showed these as a group of five or six with more platforms to sit on. The viewing angle gave people the feeling of being another scholar rock . Sitting at the same height as the sculpture is not something I've ever done myself. It was a changed experience for me and those who chose to sit too.Bob Keating Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094758931207700547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814776019005494761.post-41280549336859723362019-12-14T11:11:00.004-05:002019-12-14T11:11:58.392-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Four inches higher makes all the difference in the world. That's right the big world at this little address of mine. The world is under my two feet and all around and above. Confirmation enough!<br />
<br />
The next step in this process will cover all this in concrete. <br />

I haven't posted any art images for a while because I want to show how the art is made. Here is another structure that will become a sculpture. In a dream there were two stones I found in the ground. One was so big it was not possible to move but one was and it is becoming a non dream sculpture. The two points or ears on top of this were on the stone in the dream. It was the one I could pick up and walk away with.<br />
<br />
I didn't walk away with it though because the property owner would have upon seeing it gone " oh great you found me a beautiful stone Bob" and I would have had to say yes and walk away with out it.<br />
<br />
That is why I'm making my own stone and if any one is going to walk away with this one they will be gladly paying me for it! Finding beautiful stones and possessing them seems to be a very ancient human desire. Since I'm not finding but making these stones does this change anything ? I'm not copying any stones or rendering the likeness of a particular stone. I don't know what to call it.<br />
<br />
It will be what it will be.<br />

It's beginning to have sides,surfaces and a platform. (it's actually 3" taller now above the platform;picture not available yet) So far it's about 2 feet tall.<br />
<br />
This may not be interesting to any one but it is where I spend my time and energy and you usually only see the outer skin of the work. It is a working from the inside out way of seeing. The form eventually appears. Come back if you care to and there will be more stages to see. Beautiful stones are for ever in my opinion. (sounds like a diamond commercial)<br />

These three concrete bowls are the foundation of the next and last sculpture in a series called Host and Guest; the earth being the host and we be the guests. The shiny on top are lug nuts I re threaded to accommodate common stainless coarse thread bolts. The white ( which won't be white later ) Eiffel tower like image will be attached to the concrete rice bowls with the shiny lug nuts.<br />

This part is the Guest and it looks like a house. It is cast in concrete with a bolt coming through the top. It will be suspended inside the hollow earth ball.<br />
On top of the earth ball is a white dome that holds a 4foot tall tapered pointer. The house and the pointer are co-joined by a spring inside that dome. The slightest movement of the pointer will be indicated by movement of the house.<br />
<br />
So often we look at art and never know how it was made. There is nothing conclusive here but it's how I put this art together. In the case of this series of Host and Guest it is clear to me how ever we treat the Host we are still all ways the Guest.

Are you one of those people that can't accept an impression of an object with out seeing extreme detail ? I'm personally happy with the feeling I get form an image. I know it is an image of a 3 dimensional real thing. Many people don't or don't care. A picture makes me want to see it in person.<br />

There is a lot of snow out side but I'm not interested in that right now. Paper thin potato crisps are sizzling away in the cast iron pan.

is what I say here with this new sculpture. Our characters may harbor all kinds of directional habits but actually we always take new steps every single one of them. We are walking on a new planet and even with paths by our creation or others we accept our steps because we create them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just think ; every time you take a step you create something. I think that's a big responsibility to the world!</div>

An old fence arrived via Rita many years ago. She bought it at work.It was a mess and needed a lot of straightening and altering to bring it to this stage of enjoyment. I added the lower and upper features including the quartz. there is a small gate on the left and a drive through gate on the right. Rather than wait for a better photo day it's here now in these blue- ish images.</div>

This one is about my height(5-6 feet) and it will have another one about 2.5 feet under it. I'll be able to move them around and stack them to make groups of mountains.<br />

It's enough that they exist. Free and clear of any reason to be; there is all the space for others to participate. </div>

about 6' and 8' . There is another taller one not pictured that is also waiting for me to make it's base. The various stages won't be noticed when complete. I have to do it in stages to be able to assemble it myself. It also allows ease of transportation any where. </div>

Here is the old form I found out doors at my mothers. It was made about 1974 and is in great shape. Light weight concrete with moss growing on it. I'm now using the same formula for new forms I call<br />
Mole Hills out of Mountains . The title wasn't clear to me at first but it is more so now. I see this happening to the greater earth as though it were a mountain and it's being riddled with holes. Also there is a long standing tradition in Japan and I'm sure every country has its parallel and that is : <b>"When the time is right I'm going to live in the mountains in a little shack and write poetry or maybe just look out at the view and do nothing!" </b>Better to start soon before we eat away the mountain with less important concerns.<b> </b>Bob Keating Artisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094758931207700547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814776019005494761.post-11217290198191053752012-11-18T18:37:00.000-05:002012-11-18T18:42:59.414-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is my new <u>Mole Hills Out Of Mountains activity.</u> I started doing these after unearthing an old form I had made; age 18 - Now 59. It was at my mothers outside and it was in perfect condition. I hauled it home to Southbury and then and there decided to go back to working in this material.It is made of a light weight concrete (and very time durable) applied to an armature. They are looking just like my sumi drawings. </div>

This was a fun gate to make. Ann B. wanted some thing relaxed that kept children from falling into her pool!<br />
<div>
It's an example of the metal work I do.Instead of putting a lock and key on it I made it into a puzzle.There are so many things I'll get involved in by nessesity. Even making sculpture which on first thought would seem free from that is done by nessesity.<br />
People sometimes ask me "how long did it take to make this....?" what ever it is at the time. Usually I draw a blank at the question. There is a good reason for my consternation. Creating art I loose track of time. It is the same with putting dates on art; why ruin a good thing of loosing track of time by making believe I didn't. There are all ways conditions to making anything and that is not one of them!<br />
<br />
I say participate in the swirl of a work of art that was created in that space where time fell away.<br />
It is contagious.<br />
