Black Rhino #4488 & Black Rhino #4487
This site-specific artistic furniture offers all users of the Takoma Park Community Center a space to meet, interact, share a meal, hatch a new idea, or just relax. The sculptural forms provide shade at different times of day and the sunscreens' repetitious horizontal lines allow sunlight to filter through, defining an intimate place. Its organic forms are rooted to the ground rising up from the green roof. The vitality of these elegant yet simple structures resonates from the harmonious relation between a canted line and an undulating curve. The work's name references the number of estimated living black rhinos, a critically endangered species, at a time of its completion.
Produced by Sergio Martinez in 2015 on commission by the City of Takoma Park. |
