Along with innumerable others, the original #202 is in a temperatue-controled
storage facility in Sebastopol, CA.
Oftentimes, these can be owned by sending a reasonable offer to cprowell_originals.
* The original #201 dimensions are 42"W x 60"H.
Below, testing this premise of diffused light, we
travel to a nearby coastal ridge in western Sonoma, facing the setting sun.
As
we sit, reading our books and sipping ice tea, waiting . . . and
suddenly the rods on left side of the gate explode as the sun arrives
at it's prescribed angle. Prowell jumps up and down, singing
and dancing like an idiot.
Ten
minutes later and the second sequence of rods react, which
in turn ignites further dancing and perhaps a handstand.
And then the third.
And finally the last and with this, the smuggness that arrives with
any design born from the intuitive guess-work of a conceptual
idea existing only within the head of a man with far too much
time on his hands.
The
small translucent acrylid squares mortised into the teak gridwork.
All but invisible until back-lit by the sunlight.
We also get a closer look at a technique developed
for this gate that illustrates a series of inlays filled with a tinted
epoxy.
People love to ask, Gawd, how long did it take?
But what they don't understand is that time has absolutely nothiung
to do with it.
Do they think we have clocks, timing our billable
hours while monitoring our profit-loss margins? Fer goodness
sakes.
