Going Dotty
Sculpture: acrylic on wood construction
23 x 16 3/4 x 6 1/8 in.
Date:
1981
Wendy Lehman’s brightly painted sculptures are made from small line drawings that she fabricates into three-dimensional objects with the help of carpenters or metal smiths. Usually presented at a larger scale, Lehman’s sculptures, often made of wood or aluminum, are playful and carefully considered translations of the intuitive process of her drawing. In this work the exuberant gesture of the artist’s hand is deftly captured in the sculpture’s abstract shape.
