Mother Peace, 1969-70, Mark di Suvero Artist
|
|
 The metal sculpture called Mother Peace rested on temporary exhibit in Crissy Field. A dog walking away and people laying on the ground gave a sense of scale to the piece.

 A peace symbol was cut into the swinging arm of the sculpture. The way the arm jutted forward, suggested that this sculpture resemble a battering ram.

 A close shot showing how the cables were attached to the metal. A loop was formed in the cable end using a swage. That loop was then run around the horizontal pin of a U-clamp.

 The upper L piece of the sculpture was cabled too. The idea was that these metal bars would move in a high enough wind.

 The back edge of the main upright piece was covered in seven small fingers of metal.

 The Mother Peace sculpture shot from behind with its moving L at the top, and its battering ram horizontal below with a peace sign cut into it.
