Artist John Douglas Powers // State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now
Показать описание
John Douglas Powers (b. 1978), Studio in Knoxville, TN
Sculptor John Douglas Powers comes from a family of tinkerers in rural Tennessee. He grew up working on cars and farm equipment, and his stunning kinetic sculptural installation Ialu (2011) in State of the Art demonstrates his mechanical prowess. Steel reeds connect to wooden supports and are powered by an electric motor to sway back and forth like a field of tall grass. The rhythmic movement is set against a projection of mirrored clouds and the piece examines humanity’s sometimes fraught relationship with nature.
