SOFA Chicago 2008

SOFA / By Harry Pollitt

Five of my sculptures were presented at SOFA Chicago 2008 by del Mano Gallery

This is the third consecutive year Jan Peters and Ray Leier invited me to exhibit my wood art with them. It was as exciting this year as the first!

My fifth piece was Infinity Rising, the twisted Redwood sculpture on far left. Since I introduced this piece this year at SOFA, I thought you’d like to see its transition (below) from “work in progress” to the end result. For a closer look and more about the creating process, click here.

Huge Redwood Burl, nothing more than a block of wood, from which Harry Pollitt created his finished sculpture, Infinity Rising. The wood block gives no hint of containing such gorgeous figure and grain. — Redwood Burl block.
