Rose Dancer

Rose Dancer, by Neil Fenton & Nathaniel Baker, is all about emotion and movement, reflecting the spontaneous means through which it was created. The combined effort of Baker and Fenton unfolded over several work sessions in a garage near Downtown Colorado Springs. Beginning as a simple creative collaboration and evolving over hours of bending and welding metal, this piece truly could not have been made independently. A gesture drawing in 3D, it transcends the basic steel rebar and wire from which it is built. Dancing as the viewer moves around it, Rose Dancer evokes a sinuous spine, a trained and delicate balance, a line traced in the air with the motion of a hand, gone now, the moment over.
