Cycles Study III

Actually, this was my original conception for “Cycles.”  It just took 35 years to successfully complete it.  Each figure is turned 90 degrees to the next and completes an axial revolution as you travel around the circle.  The original was started as a life size sculpture in plaster and chicken wire.  Working without a maquette or drawings I was defeated by the shear tangle of limbs and threw up my hands about half way through completion.  This final successful execution yields an asymmetrical yet extremely satisfying aesthetic experience.  I think the three versions together make a terrific set.
