Art on Sunday #28
“Freewheelin” by James Haire; “Art on the Corner” street display, Grand Junction, Colorado (Pentax K-3 II)
Artist James Haire constructed his piece, ‘Freewheelin’, a life-size sculpture of a woman riding a bike, out of bronze and stainless steel. He says, “while the sculpture has no moving parts, there is still a feeling of movement in the piece by the absence of spokes in the wheels.”
The Cire Perdue cast bronze work was was cast in a foundry in Loveland in 1991. It depicts a “young woman on a bicycle wearing multicolored shorts, white tank-top and sandals.” (Smithsonian)
