AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Artist Peter D. Cole, title Arrival 1988. This work by Peter D. Cole titled Arrival reflects a fundamental change that occurred during the 1980s when he refined his melding of two seemingly incompatible fields of interest, the casual, organic and often untidy forms of nature and the inorganic studio crafted components of a final work. In Arrival, some of the natural forms as well as the geometric sphere are cast in bronze signifying permanency. Meanwhile, marine epoxy paint, a familiar finish in the world of machines is applied to the cone in another branch-like form. The whole work brought to a highly tuned state of completion.
