SEA GRASS
“Susan Rodgers’ Sea Grass walks away with the show. Her piece is constructed of steel reinforcing bar and aluminum tubing. She welded a large grid of the re-bar and from the intersections rise aluminum tubes, 24’ high. The tubes, fastened only at the ground, are allowed to sway in the wind. The effect is hypnotic and the introduction of motion to her work is a logical progression from her wall pieces that shimmer with the illusion of movement. ””
“Sea Grass is a site-specific sculpture designed to enliven the beautiful space it occupies without being too intrusive. Through movement, reflection, and shadow, the piece reveals the otherwise invisible shifts of wind and light while the spindly verticals provide a brave contrast to the powerful horizontal of land and sea... As a sculptor I find working in nature quite daunting. You can either fight it or join it. Here I have tried to join it, despite the good chance that it will knock me over. ”
