About the Item
In "The Beginning," Gerard Tsutakawa continues his witty interpretations of geometric forms while taking inspiration from nature and natural phenomena. An obvious reference to the sun, it is also presented here as a biped, squarely standing on a wood base and accessible to us on earth. The sculpture is finely hand-crafted in the artist's studio from sheet bronze, as opposed to cast, and is therefore one-of-a-kind rather than an edition. Finished with the artist’s velvety dark patina with gold tinges (a secret formula he inherited from his sculptor father, George Tsutakawa).
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, for ten years. He then oversaw all of his father’s fountain and sculpture fabrication and installation, including many major public works. Since this early apprenticeship, he has established himself as an accomplished sculptor in his own right and has been featured in solo and group shows throughout the Northwest. He has been recognized for his sensually abstract bronze sculpture and his elegant bronze fountains of flawless design and beauty.
Gerard Tsutakawa has completed numerous monumental corporate, institutional, and state commissions throughout the Northwest and Japan. Recurrent forms in Tsutakawa’s work include series of steps and repetitions of curves, which often combine to create a dynamic tension before allowing the essential balance to come through and transform the experience into one of deep serenity.

Bronze, patina, crepe myrtle, dye, milk paint, wax
11 x 14 3/4 x 11 3/4 inches
For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials.
Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
