July 2025. Sacandaga river stone, Pigmented and sealed steel. Dimensions: 10.5 × 13 × 3.5 in (27 × 33 × 9 cm).
The title derives from the English word catapult, meaning “to launch forward.” The sculpture’s arrangement of stone and steel conveys a sense of arrested motion—energy captured and poised for release—a dynamic tension that has been a central focus of Van Alstine’s work throughout his career.
