These small pieces that sit on a table were completed over a series of really cold winter days–thus “winter table pieces.” The warmer the weather, the larger my artworks. And conversely.
Movies (by Andrei Severny and ET) of 2 table pieces (click arrow at lower left of each screen to play):
Next a stainless steel piece, asymmetric and tranquil.
In the third piece, shown below, the vertical stainless steel plane is engraved and also scribed with lines and curves on both sides.
The gestures in the metal grinding recall the color gestures in Sonia Delaunay’s work, although Nature’s colors from sunlight on stainless steel are richer and and more subtle.
