About the Item

This work is one of the slimmest in Tsutakawa’s Uzumaki Series, which includes a public artwork in Clayton, MO, that is over 12 feet long. The warm honey patina is also unusual in this series. Uzumaki (vortex or whirlpool in Japanese) continues to surprise the viewer as we see it from various angles: the eye follows the line as it sinuates through space, each view a new sculpture. This elegant sculpture is finely hand crafted in fabricated bronze, as opposed to cast, and therefore is one-of-a-kind and not an edition.

"Molasses" unique bronze sculpture
By Gerard Tsutakawa
Located in Glen Ellen, CA
This pedestal sculpture is finely hand-crafted in fabricated bronze, as opposed to cast, and is therefore one-of-a-kind and not an edition. With the artist’s beautiful, rich, dark patina with bluish details and metallic tinges. Gerard Tsutakawa’s designs are a confluence of the cultures and traditions of the Pacific Rim. Tsutakawa grew up with a rich heritage of Japanese design creativity and sensibility combined with a lifetime spent in the Pacific Northwest’s beautiful natural environment. Exposure to the esthetics of cultures around the Pacific Rim instilled a humanistic approach to his creative process. He gathers images as bold as a Tongan war club, or as sensitive as folded origami paper, and creates a subliminal integration as a new art form.   Tsutakawa apprenticed with his father, the late George Tsutakawa...

Here we have made available a cast bronze edition of the maquette of the already acclaimed public art sculpture. An edition of 20, this maquette is a rare opportunity to own a cast sculpture by the cherished Seattle sculptor!
