Thermodynamic Bluebell
Oslo, Norway
2022
Steel, zinc flame spray coating, chromodynamic paint
16.4 x 8 x 6 inches
Commissioned by Oslo Kommunes Kunstsamling
Inspired by large modernist sculptures, the simplicity of Isamu Noguchi, Sci Fi renderings of nature, and bluebells which blossom in Oslo in the spring, Chromodynamic Bluebell is a 15 foot tall sculpture of inch thick plate steel, folded like origami to hold organic forms hinting at growth and flowering nested inside. The color shifts from blues and purples to turquoise and green as the viewer walks past, due to the high tech chromodynamic paint on the flower forms.
