George Sherwood: Wind Orchid On the South Lawn
October 3, 2010 – May 22, 2011
Wind Orchid, George Sherwood’s 24-foot-tall kinetic sculpture, gracefully responds to the changing environment outside the Museum. The wind choreographs the speed and rotation of the tendrils while stainless steel leaves reflect glimpses of sun and sky.

Sherwood’s sculpture incorporates space, time and the relationships between dynamic objects, the choreography of each piece governed by a set of basic movements with the wind providing an unpredictable element of improvisation. Wind speed and direction, shades of light, time of day, precipitation, and seasonal color interplay to transform the qualities of light and movement.
