I Now Need A Big Yard So I Can Buy This

I was in Manhattan this past weekend; saw Richard Serra’s two new sculptures, Junction (2011) and Cycle (2010), at Gagosian West 24th. The enormous tilting and winding sheets of oxidized steel made me feel like I was in a tunnel on mars. Or tripping.

I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.

  1. We will host garden parties; "Clark is serving cocktails over yonder in the Serra sculptures."
