Tennessee Cut - Sculpture by Horace Farlowe

Athens, Georgia 30605, United States

Created By: UGA Introduction to Museum Studies

Information

Measuring 28 by 23 by 20, "Tennessee Cut" is a pink marble sculpture by artist Horace Farlowe, former emeritus professor at UGA's Lamar Dodd School of Art. The sculpture is part of his window series, which compels views to look through the sculpture from different angles as if it was a window. Carefully poured by Dave Lawson with Facilities Management Division, the smooth concrete plinth places the sculpture at a height that helps viewers see the sculpture as Farlowe intended. Working primarily with sculpture, Farlowe's works can be seen worldwide in Spain, Germany, Italy, and the United States. The sculpture took on a second life when it transferred ownership from the UGA Hotel and Conference Center to the Georgia Museum of Art. Previously tucked into a hidden garden, it is now in a more predominant viewing location in front of one of the GMOA entrances. Look at the sculpture and then look through the sculpture as if it is a window. What do you see when you look through the sculpture? If you could frame any landscape, what would you want to communicate?
