Lynn Chadwick

Description

Comprised of a rotating rectangle from which a secondary rotating diamond pivots, the beveled edges and refined stainless steel surfaces of Ace of Diamonds both reflect and absorb the nuances of changing natural light. Throughout his career, Chadwick repeatedly used geometric forms as motifs for the head of a figure, with the diamond or pyramid referring to the female and the rectangular to the male. Here, the pairing of both diamond and rectangle could refer to the interaction of male and female, both moving with controlled elegance and accord.
