Carolina Blue
The park surrounding the North Carolina Museum of Art is a blend of field and forest surrounding a pond, filled with many large permanent sculptures, and a changing array of large canvases sheltered under trees along the trails. This image has been cropped, chromed and tweaked to bring focus to these two large works:
This composition features two artists. The three ellipses, Gyre by Thomas Sayre, are created on site with reinforced steel arranged in a trench over which concrete was poured. The iron oxide and dirt residue from the earth casting provide the color. 1999
The 200 pottery columns are wood fired Piedmont clay created by Daniel Johnston, and form a 350-foot-long open wall with a level top line, but which vary in height from several inches to six feet to follow the slope of the site’s terrain. 2019
