No umbrella needed

“Paper Cloud” (paper and wood), by Waldo Evan Jespersen, in his show at Boston Sculptors Gallery, June 11-July 12.

He says:

"My sculptures are investigations into form with a ridged set of guidelines. Whether driven by process, material, or vision, my goal is to make complicated and challenging situations that resolve themselves into simple and elegant forms, moments or movement. In working this way, I find my self allied not with a material or style, but instead an internal standard. The result is an ever shifting and engaging body of work that is as educational as it is surprising."

Conceptual sculpture

Work by Waldo Evan Jespersen, in his show "Stretched,'' at Boston Sculptor Gallery, Dec. 14-Jan. 28.

The gallery says: "Driven by formalism and problem solving, Jespersen's work represents the distillation of a thought pushed through the filters of reality and compromise. Often engineered to push the boundaries of materials and processes, as well as his own ability, Jespersen's sculptures are surprisingly elegant, whimsical, and deceptively simple in their purity of form. The process spurs an endless playful battle between the juxtaposition of a simple concept and complex construction.''
