Description
The three sculptures were originally part of a commission of six, entitled Sculpting the Spectator, that were on display in Lodz, Poland in 1993. In an essay about Brock’s three Schwartz pieces, John G. Hanhardt, wrote:
“In Facing Oneself: Sculpting the Spectator, the viewer confronts him/herself in a mirror to remember the responsibility we have as agents of our own free will, able to determine our response to what happens around us; Facing Another connects two viewing stations and invites viewers to reach out and establish a dialogue with each other; Facing Eternity places the viewer within a cone that directs one’s gaze to the sky, shaped by the sculpture as a portal to infinite space and time.”
