January 1985. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 6 × 8 × 4 in (15 × 20 × 10 cm).
Collection: Newark Museum of Art, Newark, NJ
Rounder II, the second work in my Rounder Series, continues my exploration of circular movement, gravity, and balance. A broad curving steel arc brings the granite elements into a dynamic relationship, while the sculpture’s physical connections—visible pins, brackets, and fastening devices—remain an important visual and conceptual focus. These exposed connections carry forward my earlier interest in making the way a sculpture is held together part of the work itself.
As in Rounder I, the title refers both to the circular character of the sculpture and to the slightly disreputable meaning of “rounder”—a drifter or someone from “the other side of the tracks.” Rounder II was exhibited at the Newark Museum of Art and subsequently acquired for its permanent collection.
