December 2023. Green NY granite, pigmented and sealed steel. Dimensions: 15 × 18 × 5 in (38 × 46 × 13 cm).
Auger Falls is a serious set of rapids channeled through a narrow flume in the town of Wells, NY in the southern Adirondacks where I live and work. It takes its name (misspelled as ‘Auger’) from its long and auguring appearance. It has a large and dominate stone near the top.
The sculpture captures the churning nature of the falls by guiding the viewer’s gaze starting the with the natural stone element and following the overall diagonal downward movement of the piece. Subsequently sliding to the twisted, torqued central steel element.
