Sculpture: Spiral Fountain by Judith Schwarz

Anita Windisman

Judith Schwarz, 1990: The intense dynamism of Spiral Fountain is intended to echo the drive-around entrance of the SkyDome Hotel. Set in a garden, the strong vertical thrust of the central figure-like form originates from a spiral shell shape set in the ground at a slight angle. This configuration can be read as a metaphorical description of the unifying energies and forces that connect the earth and sky. Moving around th edriveway by car, bicycle or foot, the sculpture reveals itself gradually in a manner similar to certain classical sculptures that were created for viewing “in the round.”
