About This Piece

Artist’s Statement: I’m constantly seeking to explore form and design from a visual pallet of my artistic vocabulary of forms and techniques. In short, the sculptures I create circulate with aesthetics in contemporary arrangement with influences and inspiration from science, architecture, landscape design, illumination, and realizations from the world around us. My current aesthetics are focused on the presence of large stoic forms, gateway pieces, primarily monoliths, and their relationship of form and space. These forms address the play and balance between space that is physically occupied and designed. Often, the sculptural forms use natural light to unveil another dimension or personality of the piece; as form, perspective, and shadows merge to produce an element of surprise. – Stephen Shachtman Winner of Denver Westword’s Best New Public Art – 2013.

This is a gateway piece to Denver, as well as bridging the community with Fort Logan National Cemetery.
