Broadway Windows is pleased to announce an exhibition by Rodger Stevens which will be on view from August 29th through October 5th, 2008. The installation is mounted in five windows at the corner of Broadway and East Tenth Street and is lighted 24 hours a day. We welcome all inquiries from the press and the public. Please stop by.

Sinuous steel wires are twisted into intriguing aery form. Some elegant curlicues are suspended in space like giant blown bubbles cast to the wind, others trace graceful calligraphic patterns along the walls. Meter and melody unite in a lyrical arrangement of angled wires that could read simultaneously as musical or mathematical notation.

Stevens scavenges bundles of construction wire to build his fantastical sculptures. "I am documenting things I see, reiterating them in such a way that the final piece is invested with my recollections. Though apparently abstract in nature, the forms I create are principally driven by narrative. Each work is a story--sometimes just a note, sometimes a long-winded yarn--that is told through the forms and composition of the piece. And while I know that the tale is often hard to read, it is what keeps my work going. I use wire to allow the viewer to look into my work, as if watching a cloud, and draw from it, abstractly and personally, what they want."
