Di Suvero bends his steel and prefers to use the strength of a crane to master the curves of his finished pieces rather than chance the hot unevening of metal. You listen to the form, and you deal with the dream that you have, the inner vision, the mind's eye aspect of it, and then you have to see what it wants to be when you go and do that. And then it gives you a kind of, I don't want to say power, but it gives you a kind of a freedom of form that seems not normal, but is really very Taoist. Part of di Suvero's power comes from the free swing of his giants, as they turn in the breeze. Ballerinas do it.
Surfers do it.
It has to do with the center of gravity. As any good dancer knows, you can pull the center of gravity outside of yourself. Then you're able to handle something else. This page was designed and created by the Boulevards team.
