SOLD
June 2008. River stone, pigmented steel. Dimensions: 10 × 12 × 4.5 in (25 × 30 × 11 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.
