Joseph Havel, Twins, 2007

Laumeier Sculpture Park Museum Circle

 

The origin for this sculpture is two bed sheets. They were stiffened and modeled using wax, then cast in bronze.  Bonded in the center with a knot, they defy gravity and logic as they stand freely and reach toward the sky. The sculpture is intentionally ambiguous, able to be viewed abstractly, literally or as metaphor for human relations.


Funding for this commission provided by the Mark Twain Laumeier Fund and an anonymous donor.

 

Laumeier previously presented Joseph Havel: Drinks are boiling. Iced drinks are boiling.
