Sculptor Jim Hodges (1957) created a compelling
installation at Barbara Gladstone’s 21st St. location in NY, grouping 4
large scale boulders around a central void. Hodges replaced part of the
original surface of the rock with vibrantly colored stainless steel
casts offs. Part of an new body of work that extends to
Gladstone Gallery’s 24th St. location as well, the installation is a
magically poetic reference to many religious traditions, from Japanese
Kami beliefs or Stonehenge worship sites to Judeo-Christian as well as
Muslim practices in which rocks were embellished to embody a myriad of
spiritual notions.
