Symmetry I- Light Patina/No Copper Plating
with Special Key: L=1.250" D=0.0625"
|
Fall, 2003
Hello,
Seen here is Symmetry
I, the third in a series of sophisticated geometric
metal sculptures I am in the process of releasing. It offers a simple
elegance with clean geometric lines, symmetry and brushed or patina'd finish.
Since releasing my most complex puzzle (see
photo below right) this Spring, I've wanted to create a cube puzzle that is
easy to solve and more affordable to produce. Now I have that easier,
affordable metal sculpture puzzle in Symmetry I.
I designed this sculpture with twenty
interlocking elements made from brass and aluminum. Each piece by itself is an
interesting geometric form with a wonderfully smooth feel. I give each piece my signature rounded
edges and all parts are tested for a smooth sliding,
interlocking fit. The finished work has a luxurious "fit and feel". Included in the design is a locking
mechanism that keeps this weighty piece intact when picked up and/or turned over - meaning it will not come
apart unexpectedly. With the simple key (included), you can easily unlock this puzzle to take it apart.

I want to create art
that offers something more than
just a pleasing outward appearance....to be interactive in some way
...Something that can be touched and contains a secret ........ ART
THAT IS CHALLENGING TO THE MIND!
|
Apart from the
material cost, metal is many times more costly than wood to precisely
cut and shape, making metal puzzles, when made at all, much more expensive
by far than comparable wood puzzles. The list price on Symmetry I is
very reasonable for metal sculpture of this size and complexity; one of my
lowest cost sculptures. It makes a excellent one-of-a-kind gift and a great conversation
piece!

I is best displayed on a 3 prong wood display stand as shown in
the photo at the top of the page. It creates a stable base with the cube

accept Paypal, credit cards, personal checks and money orders from domestic buyers. Please
allow 2 weeks for uncertified funds to clear. We accept Paypal and certified funds from International

When fully
assembled, Symmetry I forms a four inch solid metal
cube weighing 8+ pounds! This is a limited edition; each sculpture is dated

ready to assemble!
