May 2008. River stone, pigmented steel. Dimensions: 9 × 12.5 × 4 in (23 × 32 × 10 cm). Private Collection
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.
