Knot#82C | Ecto#02 | Knot#04n | Moonstone | Studio
  

In the Autumn of 2019 I was contacted by a Berlin/Beijing Art Gallery (Migrant Bird Space) inquiring whether would I be interested in creating a sculpture for a new hospital in China. I had been selected by the Wuhan Tongji Hospital for the project.
Migrant Bird Space chose my sculpture, KNOT#82 for the project and they had a local fabricator lined op to make it.


KNOT #82SP, Patinaed Stainless Steel, 24 x 14 x 14 in / 61 x 36 x 36 cm,  2018
 

I began work on a model and in late December emailed digital CAD scans of my sculpture to Migrant Bird Space. Soon after I began to see Wuhan mentioned in the news and wondered “Why is Wuhan in the news?” I soon found out: the plague was soon on full force in China and lockdown occurred putting the project on hold.

In April the lockdown was lifted and work began.

The sculpture was installed in the summer of 2020. Getting good photographs of the finished sculpture took another few months.
