Linda Schinkel Rodney
Sons of Borr

2014

About the Item

Inspiration for this triptych work is derived from a photograph made in Iceland and Norse origin mythology. Borr was the husband of Bestia and they had three sons Odin, Vili, and Ve. According to the legend, these three sons made heaven and earth. The Schinkel's work has underpinnings from a photograph they made at sunset from behind Icelandic waterfall Seljalandsfoss. The artists use of color fields gives rise to new beginnings and sparks timeless majestic feelings. The artists use their original artists process to achieve the illusion of three dimensions on 2D aluminum sheet metal. This mixed media work was made with the original artist process known known as Metalagram®. It was developed at the intersection of art + science, and old world skills + 21st century technology. The artists create sculpturally in layers rendering the dimensional interactive appearance viewers experience. The Metalagram® works appear differently from 180 degree vantage points and at varying angles of incidence as photons dance across the work. Lighting impacts this artwork with photons meeting the hand cut layered aluminum at different angles of incidence. Viewers' perception of the work changes as one navigates 180 degrees around the work. Spot lighting as well as colored lighting on the artwork create visual delights for one's eyes and enhance and add variety to the work, while not necessarily being a part. The collectors decide on type of lighting to meet their creativity and desires, with guidance from the artists. The artists first debuted Metalagram® works during Art Miami week 2012. These works have received numerous awards including Best of Show for Art, Innovation & Design from the Beverly Hills, CA Fine Art Show and is currently exhibited in prestigious public and private locations including Cranbrook, one of the world's leading centers of education, science, and art. This work was made in the Schinkel's artists studio in the former Moross House Museum, the oldest brick dwelling in Detroit, MI, circa 1840.
