"The Wright Series."
Subject
The 'Wright Series' sculptures are derived from the works of Frank Lloyd
Wright.
There are five sculptures in the series, representing the different styles
( periods or ages ) of Frank Lloyd Wright, based on:
- Frank
Lloyd Home and Studio, Oak Park, Chicago, Illinois.
- Unity
Temple, Oak Park, Chicago, Illinois.
- Fallingwater
( Kaufmann House ), Mill Run, Pennsylvania.
- Prairie
House, Illinois.
- Usonian
House, Pope-Leighey Home, Alexandria, Virginia.
Object
The sculptures recreate the experience of seeing and visiting the actual
houses. Note that in certain cases, notably FallingWater, the experience
of visiting the house is substantially different from seeing the building
in a book.
The houses may resemble kid's blocks. This is intentional. Frank Lloyd
Wright was influenced by the work of Fredrich Froebel ( the inventor of
Kindergarten ), and John Wright, his son, was the inventor of Lincoln
Logs.
As in any series, there is a change that occurs during the making of the
series. The first sculpture, 'Kaufmann House', relates strongly to the
subject. The second sculpture is derived from its subject, the Prairie
house, and the first sculpture. By the end of the series, 'Studio and
House', the reference is mainly the previous sculptures as opposed to
the subject.
