November 1985. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 7 × 10 × 5 in (18 × 25 × 13 cm).
Private collection - Baltimore MD.
Los Arcos grew directly from the Rockslide Series, reusing the large curved I-beam from Rockslide III. The sweeping steel arch connects two contrasting granite elements, creating a broad circular movement while engaging gravity, balance, and suspension. Visible pins, plates, and brackets continue my interest in making the means of assembly an important visual and conceptual part of the sculpture.
The title was inspired by Los Arcos, the well-known rock formations off the coast near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which I had visited. Their dramatic natural arches suggested an association with the sculpture’s large curving form, though the work is not intended as a literal representation. Los Arcos was exhibited in my 1986 solo exhibition at the George Ciscle Gallery in Baltimore and was subsequently purchased by a Maryland collector.
