Elevated Boulder | 2022 by Roland Gebhardt
Steel, stainless steel, boulder from Crystal Park
“The column sculpture consists of two volumes of different material and origin. Each volume has a distinct character. One volume is a natural boulder selected from the grounds of Crystal Park, the other is a man-made geometric form. These two volumes correspond via a common void and become as one.
The void reaches beyond the physical confines of the host volume. The surrounding space uses the void to flow through the assembly. The void shares the space and form of the host volumes, leaving their characteristics intact. In this case, the linear form of the void echoes the column’s verticality.” -- Artist Roland Gebhardt
