Large Spindle Piece

“Being a sculptor,” said Henry Moore, “means that you are living in this three-dimensional world and that’s what makes it exciting. You must be discovering the whole time. A sculptor wants to know what a thing is like from on top and from beneath—a bird’s-eye view and a worm’s-eye view. It’s infinite.” Sited to honor Moore’s intention that this work be viewed from different angles, *Large Spindle Piece* is perhaps best seen against the backdrop the artist preferred above all others: the sky.
