Detailed Description: This sculpture, which measures 134 feet in length, is typical of John Henry’s work. Through the careful arrangement of simple forms and with great attention to angles of incidence and visual weight, the artist has created a structure weighing many tons which seems, from a distance, to dance effortlessly across the landscape. But it is also an interactive work, so large a viewer can enter it, move easily between its monumental components as they observe the play of light and shade – and experience the work from both inside and out.
