About this artwork
“Oracle” is part of the ‘Skyworks’ series of sculpture, Sheldon began in 2016. He uses what he likes to call a ‘NASA aesthetic’ in their creation. They appear mathematical in their appearance, but each piece is begun intuitively, by sketching and creating maquettes of wood. 'Oracle' pays homage to Humanity's earliest connections to world's beyond Earth. The large 'eye' on top of the piece pays homage to ancient 'all-seeing eyes' that were meant to…
symbolize all-encompassing knowledge and wisdom, such as was found at the oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece. The bird form on the side amongst the planet shapes is meant to symbolize a celestial messenger connected to the heavens. This piece stands 8' tall and is made with .5 inch aluminum.

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »
At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
