Torsion Wave
21" x 19" x 6" - 2001
Colorado Yule Marble, Aluminum Base
In the collection of Leslie and Jim Mooney, Eugene, OR
Torsion Wave arose from the image of a square slab subjected to a torsion force, a twist of opposite edges in opposite directions. The resulting shape has a pair of opposite faces that acquire saddle shapes. The two views, at left, present the saddle sides straight-on and on-edge, respectively. This marble comes from the Yule Creek quarry near Marble, Colorado. Early in the twentieth century, this quarry produced the marble for hundreds of public buildings, including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C..
