October 10 is the birthday of Thelonious Monk, jazz composer & pianist. Coincidentally, just yesterday I picked up two new bronze casts from my foundry of my sculptures inspired by Monk. (Their patinas are different than the ones pictured here.) First, six views of “Monk Solos in 3D, III”, then five views of “Monk Solos in 3D, II” . ( The first version has sold out.) The sculptures are what Monk’s music “looks” like to me—off-tilt, angular, & surprising, but always gracefully resolved. Of all my works these two really give you a whole new visual experience each time you see them from a different angle.
