whiling leaves

Albert Belleveau — Fri, 26 May 2006 14:47:12 GMT

Whirling Leaves was installed on the Soux Falls Sculpture Walk the weekend of May 20th - it sold two days latter. "Whirling Leaves" was inspired by the leaf vortices that swirl around our woodland home in the fall. Often as I contemplate these seasonal anomalies I feel they have a gentle feminine quality to them. A single leaf breaking free from its summer work place, dressed in its autumnal finery, dances and swirls making a big drama queen show of its defiance of gravity: but the second act is even more grand as the leaves that are grounded and those in mid flight are caught up in whirling vortices of air demonstrating a well choreographed dance that has been performed from time immemorial. I try to represent this vision by cutting leaves from steel and pounding them into the shape of a lithe female form. this is my first sculpture with wings: part of the evolution of "trying to see it right" I made this sculpture green because its spring and green is what I see and feel, but I hope by fall the wind and rain of Sioux Falls will generate some rust from unpainted cracks and tinges of red and yellow will tint the leaves. If the sculpture were closer to home I would sneak out at night and repaint it the appropriate color for fall. The ongoing thrust of my work is to blur the lines between what we think and what we see to better understand our inter dependance and relation to the wild " Nature" - we are the wild.
