Bend of Mind – by Tony Cragg

2005 / Bronze

Location: Frederik Meijer Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

My day trip: September 21, 2011.

Best described on this website – Cass Sculpture Foundation.. click here..
The biomorphic profile of Bent of Mind alters continually as the viewer moves around it, drawing the eye to its extremities as one attempts to make sense of the shifting and distorted forms. Contours pulling in opposing directions create tensions throughout, while the smooth, undulating bronze radiates with bold highlights and dark shadows. The highly polished surface enhances the striking presence of the fluid form as the interplay of natural light creates new emphasis on previously unnoticed patterns, textures and curves.

The moment I saw this, I was in love with this sculpture.
Sculpture-in-the-round which becomes very interesting as one moves around it!
How many faces do you see?
