'Erwin Hauer is one of the most creative and important artists working in the three-dimensional idiom during the second half of the twentieth century. He is a sculptor's sculptor, a creator of flawless form that dazzles those who toil in this world. But that alone is not his achievement. He is an artist of wide breadth, who has been a perpetual student, investigating those new realms where his work carried him, always adding to what he has already developed.....his geometric and architectural sculptures cannot be overestimated for their effect upon architechs and countless Yale students who carried his thinking and forms into the world, affecting even larger groups.' " I became obsessed with the concepts of infinity and continuity. In my work this continuity, or progression, occurs either along one single axis...or within a two -dimensional plane, or fully in the third dimension ,an exemplified in 'Continuous Surface I-WP'.IT was at the completion of this project that I became aware that I had inadvertently drifted into mathematical territory. Until then, I had used nothing but a sculptor's sense of space and a sculptor's sense of form to guide me." Erwin Hauer |
