Sherwood's kinetic sculptures invite us to observe, experience, contemplate and engage more fully in the natural world around us. His works are often made of stainless steel, a reflective material that serves to integrate the works into the unique and often transient light of their environments. The choreography of each piece is governed by a set of basic movements, facilitated by an arrangement of aerodynamic surfaces connected by rotational points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Artist Book Foundation is pleased to present \u003ci\u003eGeorge Sherwood: Wind, Waves, and Light\u003c\/i\u003e, the first monograph on this award-winning artist's lustrous, subtly transformative works. Featuring 100 sculptures from Sherwood's early whimsical explorations to his monumental commissions that have graced private and public gardens, city sites, and exhibition spaces around the world, readers will witness how changing winds, shades of light, times of day, precipitation, and the seasons' changing colors alter the sculptures, animate their surroundings, and ignite the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased in Ipswich, Massachusetts, \u003cb\u003eGeorge Sherwood\u003c\/b\u003e (1954-) has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions including the Currier Museum, Manchester, New Hampshire; Saint Gauden's National Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire; The Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, Massachusetts; and the Katonah Museum, Katonah, New York.
