'Green Screen' outdoor sculpture

This sculpture was inspired by a picturesque grouping of Prickly Pear cactus in the Texas Hill Country.  I envisioned a stylized ‘protector’ overseeing the beautiful scene from its elevated stature.

This tall and slender sculpture draws the eye upward.   The elongated, parallel lines and joinery 'cubes' are reminiscent of the Art Deco style.  A subtle green sheen emanates from the three pods, and the base integrates into the overall sculpture.

Dozens of joinery pass-throughs kept me occupied for days at my drill press, drilling and fitting pieces together.  Because of this joinery approach, the sculpture required assembly in a certain  order — so figuring that out was a bit of a puzzle.  Luckily I didn’t get myself backed into a corner, and a streamlined and sleek look is the final result.

Nevertheless, while entertainment exists for those inclined to reverse-engineer its construction, the casual viewer can simply enjoy ‘Green Screen’ from afar and find delight when exploring it up close.

‘Green Screen’ measures 90” tall x 35” wide x 35” deep.  Multiple coats of clear lacquer have been applied to the entire piece to retard rusting and maintain the sculpture’s refined, polished look.
