Ron Gard
"French Kiss" |
“Much of my work involves shapes that fold back on themselves or are juxtaposed to create a sense of tension or animation. In ‘French Kiss’ the 2 blade-like shapes have achieving a balance and peace as a result. Relationships, both personal and global, have these same passionate characteristics.” |

John Henry
"Star Pointer"

Henry, whose work resides on five continents, created a 75-foot-high kortenz steel piece which is on loan for one year. “Americans need a reference point. What people find pleasing has to do with their own visual vocabulary, how willing they are to take in visual information. Ours is a young country, a pioneer country, still about the business of making an impact.” |
