About this artwork
“Pisces” 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. Vectored versions are then created on the computer and steel components are cut out with a laser cutter. Then, each component is welded together. As a sculptor, Sheldon aspires…
to touch viewers with a feeling of wonder and perhaps, if only for a moment, with thoughts about their relation to the greater Universe.

« 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.
