August 1985. Granite, steel. Dimensions: 32 × 42 × 12 in (81 × 107 × 30 cm).
Private collection - Washington, DC
Yaddo Rounder II continues my exploration of circular forms, bringing granite and steel together through weight, balance, and physical connection. A sweeping steel arc links two contrasting stones, while visible pins and attachments emphasize the act of assembly. The larger stone, poised on a narrow point, gives the work a sense of precarious, arrested motion.
The title refers to Yaddo, the artists’ retreat in Saratoga Springs, New York, where I created the work as a resident fellow in the summer of 1985. Like Yaddo Rounder I, it extends ideas developed in the Go-Round Series, using the circle as both a structural and increasingly expressive element.
