Arching
1985
Welded bronze

The central gesture of Arching, a welded bronze sculpture with a near horizontal arch, recalls the separation of the earth from the heavens. Arching, for Hunt, evokes the reference to the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament: “And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters…And God gave the arch the name of Heaven.” Hunt posed with Arching for the oil painting, Portrait of Richard Hunt (1985), by Simmie Knox.
