VG bumping & creasing to corners; spine top bumped. illustrated paper boards w/ black cloth & bronze printed spine. 223 pgs w/ color illustrations. In Robyn Horn's thirty years as a wood sculptor her work has evolved from small lathe-turned objects to ten-foot-high redwood compositions like her Already Set in Motion #1170 which graces a garden at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. In creating these forms that rise from the earth at improbable angles Horns primary tool is the chainsaw and yet a tenderness for her medium reveals itself in the delicate balance of planes that allows her sculptures to both loom and flow visually indicating that they are precarious when in fact they are sturdy.0The essays and images in The Sculpture of Robyn Horn sketch the industrious career of this Little Rock Arkansas-based sculptor illuminating her attention to geometry physics and the philosophy of design and exploring the context and origin of the various seriesGeodes Millstones Standing Stones and Slipping Stones among othersthat characterize her body of work.--WorldCat.
