Sculptures by Charles Ginnever toy with the simplicities of shape to defy physical and angular logic. He mirrors, echoes, flips and reverses a single form to build complexities as well as unity in his three-dimensional work. Luna Moth Walk I is a product of this repetitive process. To avoid closing off the form, Ginnever fuses three planes together by bending a single piece of steel. This sculpture comes from his Origami Series, named after the Japanese art of folding paper. The result is a form that seems to pirouette on a narrow central axis, appearing meditative and delicate even though it is made of heavy steel.
