Description

Cutler-Shaw was commissioned by California Pacific Homes, a division of the Irvine Company, to create a gateway sculpture for Stonecrest Village, a major housing development in San Diego, California. She proposed this work as a conversation between the unpredictable landscape of nature - of wild birds and grasses - and the built environment. The sculpture of hand-forged steel is in two parts on facing street corners. Each is an open half seventeen feet high by eighteen feet wide at the outer edge, by thirteen feet deep of a whole circular cage. Seen from certain angles, there is the illusion that each is a fully closed circular form rather than half of a divided whole. An angle of metal loops and coils, as vines, wind about the sides and rounded tops, where the silhouettes of five birds in flight are toward the opposite corner. Cutler-Shaw created this slide-out artist book to commemorate this public art sculpture.
