Rafter Trapeze

30'x20'x15'
recycled wood
St. Petersburg, FL
2008

An old gymnasium was being taken down and the curve of these laminated arches inspired the shape of the sculpture. The name is a throwback to the days when the rafters held supports for trapeze work. The arches, inverted, implied tall-masted sails, filled with ocean winds.
