Meneses sculpture
Meneses welds plates of steel into massive rectilinear
forms that are human scale and then implies that they can be manipulated
by introducing a central, curved segment. A long horizontal slab
is established with a narrowed neck which seems compressed until
it has smoothly buckled downward. In another work this narrowed
section bends into a half cylinder to allow the overall slab to
fold in half. Once a viewer has established the similarities between
the two works, which are identical except for their articulation
at a central juncture, the transition between one and the other
is effectively implied. The idea of bending or compressing these
huge thick slabs seems, for a moment, quite possible.
