About the Artwork

Big Angular Colourful Modern Abstract Interaction Contemporary Statue. For Outside in the Urban Landscape.

By the Bold American Sculptress Deedee Morrison who writes…..
“May Charms was installed in July for the Midwest Sculpture Initiative Exhibition. The sculpture is dramatically placed in Canton main shopping district, an area that receives heavy pedestrian traffic, allowing viewers to interact and engage with the sculpture.”
In works such as May Charms, a sculpture with a strong angular shape and intricately cutout overlays, it is easy to define the theme of Morrisonʼs work contrasts. Speaking to the dualities of mechanical and organic, masculine and feminine, light and dark, strength and weakness, this particular artwork gives a sensation of diverging ideas bound by dissimilarity ? an idea rampant in many of Morrisonʼs sculptures.

Artist Comment

With every sculpture, the artist begins with heavy industrial metal and utilizes a recent development in the metal industry - laser cutting - to introduce light and and a sense weightlessness into the piece. Working from her studio on-site at the Wade Sand and Gravel quarry in the industrial district or Birmingham, Alabama, Morrison is obviously inspired by her surroundings to create large objects fit for harsh environments. Yet a desire to convey seemingly impossible contrasts gives a soft touch to the work as feminine lace-like patterns are ubiquitously repeated in much of her recent art. The luminary glow peeking out through these cutouts adds another layer of interest, purposefully inviting viewers to witness the sculpture both in day and night.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
