Tendrils (Gingko Leaf Variation)

George Sherwood’s “Tendrils (Gingko Leaf Variation)” is a fluid masterpiece, appearing in the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s Sculpture and Motion Exhibition in 2008. Curated by Brigitte Micmacker, co-owner of Sculpturesite Gallery in San Francisco, CA, the curator comments: “In George Sherwood’s reflective work, subtle changes not only of wind currents but of sunlight through the seasons, are recorded within the fluid forms. 

A primary focus is on the creation of sculpture which echoes the vitality and gestures distilled from natural phenomena.” Sherwood says: “My sculptures are best viewed over extended periods to appreciate their interaction with the environment. The graceful motion of the two arms of “Tendrils (Gingko Leaf Variation)” reveals a complex engineering system and indeed, the viewer is recompensed for taking time to decipher this ethereal sculpture.”
