Jacob Tree by Richard Arfsten
To me the elements represent ideas. Each are different yet together try to tell a story. Actually they can mean anything you want them to be. That is the beauty of abstract work.
When I make these sculptures they are intended to be used as a tool for enlarging. This is a maquette, a model to measure off of by a metal fabricator to build a large version of. It also can be used as a desk top sculpture. If you pick it up to eye sight you can see a accurate indication what it would look like if you were walking up to it after it is enlarged. It is not a sketch on a piece of paper with numbers that may not be accurate. It can be scanned to easily get the patterns to build from out of flat metal sheets. Essentially it is odd shaped boxes welded together in a hopefully interesting way to look at.
Basically I am selling the design and the use as a logo and the right to have it enlarged by a fabricator close to your location of your choosing. Big sculpture is hard to ship. This maquette is easily mailed anywhere and you control the costs.
Think of sculpture as sophisticated signage. It is intended to elevate your operation in your industry in the mind of your client.
It will come with a stone base to display it on that is polished on top and rough cut on the sides.
This piece will come with a thick stone base that is polished on top and rough cut on the sides.
This is a solid cast Aluminum maquette. Edition of one. The rights to enlarge the piece are available, but are not included in the sale price of the maquette used as a desk top sculpture. Please contact me for further information regarding enlargement.
