THE INSTALLATION: ascension by deise (photos are loading, slideshow will start momentarily)

INSTALLATION: The installation of Ascension, large scale sculpture by Pete Deise, Arizona based sculptor, arrived from Phoenix by semi Friday, November 17, 2006.  The images in this slideshow pertain to the preparation for transport from Phoenix and the installation at the Benini Sculpture Ranch.

From 4’ x 10’ x ¼ inch steel sheets these pieces are born - a complex mix of process and sweat combine with the torch and the grinder to create the many individual elements that are heated and curved - twisted and tangled and welded. A Deise sculpture series is conceived after an intense period of hypersensitivity to the beauty of naturally occurring curvatures - the mind’s iris wide open and easily influenced by ideas rapidly penetrating the fertile winter soul - creation occurs in the spring oven hot summer. This series of steel sculpture is named Ascension and was born of inspiration experienced upon completion of the last piece in the last series Eruption - with these sculptures I am exploring the transformation of energies once captured and captive - now born free from their geometric restraints - struggling germinating forms affected by the forces of nature - evolving - responding - turbulent structures and their rising spires.
