The sculptor Lon Pennock creates both large and small abstract sculptures in steel. Numerous grand works of his can be found dotting the public spaces, particularly in the urban edges. They display a simplicity of form – abstract volumes, such as blocks, beams, and plates, come together to form an abstract composition that appears to have taken form by happenstance, playing with sculptural principles like weight, rhythm, and volume. The titles of his pieces harken back to these sculptural themes – balance, stacking, bridge, wall, or gate.
www.ftn-books.com has several publications on Pennock now available.
