Wind and Stone activates the landscape; with water nearby on both the work’s port and starboard sides it suggests the peninsula is afloat within the bay. The colossal weight of the stone contradicts the lightness of the form, creating a dialogue between symbols and materiality. The bow of the work points toward the bay, acting as an entry point for the viewers’ imagination and suggesting an experiential journey. The negative space formed by the center of the sails creates two open windows onto the surrounding landscape — framing the Bay Bridge and The Marina. As the view changes from different vantage points, so does the relationship between the two sails. The ever-changing perspectives can be experienced on both land and on the water.
