Stan Huncilman has a sculpture, “Harappan Swansong” located on Cloverdale Boulevard in front of the Gould Shaw House.
Sponsored by Plank Coffee in Cloverdale and Healdsburg, the sculpture is 88 inches high by 25 inches wide and 25 inches deep. It’s formed from welded steel and then painted. “Harappan Swansong” was selected by independent judges to receive the First Place Award.
“The mind and body are distinct entities and perhaps not always in harmony. How would that translate into a sculpture? ‘Harappan Swansong’ started with the wheel of inner dharma turning ever so relentlessly and ended with antennae of resistance. In between lies the rub of folly found and folly lost,” Huncilman said about the sculpture.
Huncilman’s studio is located in Berkeley. The outside and inside of his studio is quirky, colorful and filled with whimsical sculptures. To Huncilman, “All art is an abstraction. I think more about the act of creation than the outcome,” he said.
Having exhibited in Cloverdale numerous times, Cloverdalians have seen a number of his colorful, whimsical sculptures.
Keep them coming Stan, as your sculptures put a smile on our faces.
