Review - Dr. Elaine Foster
Your Rockaway Beach sculpture is so handsome! You are so versatile! When I remember your sculpture over the years it has explored so many avenues! All of them; you do well, but this one is so pure, so simple and so sophisticated that it stands out and is very moving!

For me there is a sense of rising upward towards the heavens with joy! It's the color that elicits the joy. I made a pin after 9/11 with a bursting upward thrust, towards the heavens. A sense that we will rise again.

National boundaries are slowly becoming faint as a global economy slithers through the myriad of cultures around the world. The unique indigenous flavors, colors, habits, sounds and ideas, which have peppered the earth, can no longer be protected by distances. Cultures are being assimilated, diluted and sometimes ingested or coerced. The digital world might be seen as having created an atmosphere, a WAVERING TWILIGHT, of the distinctions that have been the origins of cultures.

[The start of an introspective series]

The 15-year-old set up a large mirror on the ledge of a wide easel. Enthusiastically, the iPod was set to play loud, mesmerizing music he always used as ritual to be morphed into the zone.

He was startled by the staring eyes of a 70-year-old man introducing himself. Speaking of a reality check!

15-year-old features had installed themselves for 70 years in his mind's eye. They materialized every time he shaved.

It was difficult to continue working on the portrait. Staring at the person through the third person needed to be transformed into a first person experience.

There seemed to be a great many barriers to deal with. The shock of not having looked at the ‘real’ person for so long was disturbing to say the least. Perhaps my blindness had contributed to the many comments which have described me with youthful personae. For weeks I stared at many storefront windows introducing myself to myself until I was able to go back into the studio to face a real truth. I had grown to like the looks of the guy in the mirror.

9’x3’x1.5’ - Stainless steel
Gallatin Art Crossing, Bozeman, Montana,>
Here is a monument to awareness of our vulnerabilities: to that which we take for granted which can slip away or be taken from us while we are going about living our lives. VIGILANT takes in its peripheral world. It can ingest the signals of danger. It senses the world around; stretching upward and upside down with its dynamic fluid form is in constant motion.  Stainless steel shimmering flat surfaces appear as bold linear forms in space that have the strength to illuminate the many camouflages which are nonchalantly enveloping us all. It is hoped that experiencing silent words of VIGILANT, the viewer might recognize the impact of egos and greed that surrounds them.

She and he aught to pay attention to the birth of the flame, which at present might seem smallish but can, in an instant, be harnessed to extinguish the vital human treasures which we cherish.

Finally, something has emerged trying to trump the greed of Wall Street… Groups of people simply standing, talking to each other and [not to my surprise] others beganing to listen. This piece reflects the simplicity of speaking the complex in a universal voice.

A couple of years after the numbing shock of watching the two planes fly into the World Trade Center across the Hudson River from my studio I was again able to work on making beautifulness. The ecstasy was short lived. The studio became four walls of agony the night George W. Bush started murdering Bagdad. The nonstop alighting of the city with militarily surreal fireworks and the television coverage of it infuriated me.
The anger of that night poured out into THE NIGHT BAGDAD EXPLODED in JERSEY CITY.  The ferocity of the bombing ignited the furious creation of the eight-foot by four-foot aluminum panel. The small wide-angle mirror in the piece is placed to establish the ownership of the events of that evening on every person who experiences the sculpture.

"Chaos"
Alunimum and Glass 18”x24”x6”
Governor’s Island, New York City

14 Sculptor’s group  has been selected for participation in the 4th Annual Governors Island Art Fair. Across from Governors Island is the Statue of Liberty. This public monument can be interpreted as a self  portrait of Lady Liberty herself, in an abstract way.  As a symbol of welcome and greeting, the artists of 14 Sculptors Gallery have created an exhibition titled HEAD TO TOE: images of themselves to introduce to the public. In this intimate indoor setting at the art fair, the sculptors choose to reveal parts of themselves, not necessarily dealing with their likenesses. >Thus spoke Herb Rosenberg through words of Zarathustra as his contribution to the ‘Head to Toe’ exhibition. ”What you see is the whole me, from head to toe through  organized chaos of light, color and shimmeringnesses.”

Opening reception November 7th, 5:00-8:00pm Dialogue with an Ancient Forest, Perth Amboy Visual Arts Center, 339 Reade Street, Perth Amboy, New Jersey 08862

Its very possible that ancient forests around the world house the silent history of life's survival techniques from which, if we are to endure, we should learn to listen or perhaps, listen to learn. Eavesdropping on these chroniclers of healing we just might not land up destroying ourselves and the world we love.
Come and walk through an environmental awakening of thirteen, nine-foot columns within an amazing sound-filled space.
The installation consists of thirteen nine foot columns on wooden bases in which  a wireless speaker system emanates a sound composition created by Andrew Rosenberg, Herb's son.
