The Sculpting of Natalia Rudovsky







Oh, the joy of working & playing & yoging & photographing with awesome people! Natalia Rudovsky met me in the early morning during an unseasonably windy day. Clouds and cold crept through my bones, yet here she was willing and excited to stretch, move, glide and flow around the designs of the SAM Sculpture Park.

Starting with a warm-up to get an idea of Natalia's practice, Sun Salutations where given to the great hidden star of our galaxy. Then, with a clear picture in my head and through my eyes, her body warm to her fluidity, we swan through Wake by Richard Serra.

What I strive for in my imagery is a composition of lines and angles, matching/mimicking/contradicting the symmetry of Nature and mankind. The curvaceous metals of Serra's pieces offered something new, something unique. I utilized the deep primordial maroon as a background and the play of light between the sculptures as a source of piecemeal lighting. Richard Serra quotes our process, performance and presence there beautifully:
"What's important is you moving between them, through them, and around them as they undulate; it's your body moving in relation to their surface that moves."
Onward and upward to the bounds of infinite growth and creativity.
