111. X sculpture
X sculpture
Description
Artist's model., L. Kirkland 1988; Oregon St. Univ.; Engineering College; Maxwell's EQ, The symbols scattered around the atrium form a kind of puzzle which reflects the scientist's focus on the ingredients of a solution, rather than the final solution. Hanging aluminum rods represent a sound wave, as on an oscilloscope. A steel X sculpture outdoors represents a vector field. The stone pieces indoors represent the symbols E, D, B, H, Delta, a point and an equal sign. Some of the sandblasted quotes are whimsical, as in Samuel Butler's "A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg." Kirkland's favorite is from a T. S. Eliot poem: "Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?" Kirkland said he is pleased with his effort in stone and the way it relates to the people who will see it. "I think that a public commission needs to be responsive to the people, to a specific audience."

Stake
Description
A metal and wood construction of simple geometry that comprises a metal suspension mechanism for an inverted wooden spike. Linear metal outlines two squares: one at the base and one at the top. The base square is slightly larger than the top square, and they are connected to each other at each corner, thus defining a considerable amount of vertical space. The top sqaure's sides are intersected in the middle by linear metal hanging down and forming another square, defined by two, parallel metal pieces. The base of the wooden spike, which is shaped like a pyramid, fits into the metal piece and hangs down toward the base., Stake; [no.] 2; 1993;top, As an artist, Gary has had the opportunity to work in many areas of sculpture from casting glass at The Pilchuck Glass School and Pratt Fine Art Center both in Seattle to a summer spent at The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Through the classes at Pilchuck, Gary has learned from some of the best glass casters in the world. The summer sent in Maine allowed Gary to spend time with 65 other talented artists in a working environment. Gary has also been an Artist in Residence at Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle (1992), which allowed him to develop a series of cast glass pieces. In 1998 Gary received a GAP grant from Artist Trust in Seattle which allowed him to work on a set of molds for glass casting. Gary has also worked with a large design gallery in Chicago, selling pieces to architects and interior designers.
