SCULPTURE 2: INSIDE OUT Inside Out is an illusory space that diverts the viewers attention from the urban architectural interruptions of Grand Forks by drawing ones focus to the sky. It is a simple concept and in part is influenced in form from my experiences of being at the historic monument of Stonehenge, the ancient stone circle on Salisbury Plain, 20 miles from my home in England. A place where historically people met to celebrate midsummers, to share stories and to trade. Inside Out is an amalgam of Light, language, sky, wind, words and poetry. A sculpture composed of a 1000 words.
