Item Details
Julian Voss-Andreae is a German sculptor who lives in Portland. He says about his profession, "Contemporary technology is ushering in a new era for sculpture, comparable perhaps only to the invention of metal casting during antiquity. In my work, I draw cutting-edge approaches from very diverse fields to reimagine the ancient art of figurative sculpture."
This can clearly be seen in “Agave Dreams" (painted and polished stainless steel; 10' x 12' x 6'; 2015), on the campus of Texas Tech University, which depicts a female figure, kneeling on the earth with outstretched hands touching the ground. Sheltered between her hands grows a live agave, a plant with a history of deep significance to the native peoples in the area. Through her gesture of blessing the plant, “Agave Dreams” encourages us to question our attitude toward nature and the entire web of life.
