October 1990. Slate, bronze. Dimensions: 23 × 50 × 26 in (58 × 127 × 66 cm). Cannibalized by artist.
Corvus (ˈkȯr-vəs) — A small constellation adjoining Virgo to the south. The name derives from the Latin corvus, meaning “raven.”
Corvus combines two rough stone forms with a sweeping arc of steel, bringing natural and industrial materials into an active relationship. The found character of the stone and gestural curve of the steel create a sense of weight, tension, and movement.
The title Corvus is Latin for “crow” or “raven” and also the name of a constellation. The arrangement loosely suggests a bird-like presence without becoming literal, while the celestial association connects the work to my continuing interest in looking to the sky for imagery and metaphor.
