David Marshall
Glass and Metal sculpture "The Crux" climber David Marshall Jennifer Baker

2021

About the Item

" The Crux " This unique sculpture was created by David Marshall and Jennifer Baker from sand cast aluminium and cast glass . Certified authentic by both artists. The collaborative work of Jennifer Baker, glass artist, and David Marshall, metal sculptor, represents the natural joining of the artists and their respective mediums. The respect for each other’s art evolved into the works that reflect the shared expression of how the forms of nature - the rocks and mountains, the ice and water, the expanse and randomness - inspires them and forged their artistic bond. The complex relationship of the human experience and impact on the natural world wove itself into the basis for these works that explore the relationship of the spires and granite faces of mountains that rose from the basement of time worn by the handprints and boot marks of women and men, driven by reasons unexplained in a race to the top. Climbers, fragile glass figures holding tight to metal-hard rock, are balanced in space, a tactile experience that demonstrates respect but also leaves a mark, an ambivalent expression of a deep emotion that will injure either if one gives way. From the top, it’s not clear who the winner is.

  • Burnished Rose - Contemporary Original Tabletop Metal Sculpture
    By Atticus Adams
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Atticus Adams' organically composed modern metal sculptures embody the transformative power of contemporary art, illustrating the creation of beauty, meaning, and emotional impact from industrial materials. Using mostly aluminum mesh—generally found in screen doors, windows, and filters—he creates contemporary abstract sculptural artworks and installations, which resemble flowers, clouds, and other natural phenomena. Working in metal, Adams effortlessly transforms rigid material into airy, effervescent artworks. This 15-inch high by 10-inch wide by 8-inch deep tabletop sculpture is created with copper mesh, gesso, acrylic paint, rivets, and wire on a metal stand. Size and price include stand. Atticus works spontaneously, feeling his way toward the objects that take shape in his mind as he shapes them almost entirely by hand. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Atticus grew up in West Virginia, steeped in traditional folk art. Several members of his family are self-taught artists, deeply involved in such crafts as wood carving and quilting. His formal art training includes stints at Yale, Rhode Island School of Design, and Harvard’s School of Architecture. Atticus has fond summer memories of screened-in porches back home and screen doors that practically dissolved the barrier between inside and outside, allowing the warmth and nature to permeate each day. This association continues to resonate in his art. “Metal mesh is a beautiful, flexible material that allows you to explore shadow and transparency in endless ways,” he says. “The material lends itself to these biomorphic shapes, which aren’t necessarily intentional . . . The sculptures seem fragile but are actually quite resilient—like nature itself.” A well-known sculptor, the organically inspired artworks of Atticus Adams are held in public and private collections and are exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States.
