Chase Air
Bennett, Evelyn and Rutter, Christopher (2000) Chase Air. [Exhibition/show, Public art, Sculpture, Site-specific work]
In 2000 Wilfred and Jeanette Cass asked us to make a sculpture for their sculpture organisation ‘Sculpture at Goodwood’. We made several models of different ideas which were to be sited in different places in the grounds and finally settled on ‘Chase Air’. There were many thoughts and threads that lead us to the final design and siting; among them were the tale of Daphne and Apollo (the psychological strategy of taking yourself ‘out of body’ when faced with an unendurable experience struck a chord with us), the experience of seeing blue sky through a woodland canopy, immersion in colour (like a bee in a flower), the merging of male and female and other thoughts and feelings that occur subconsciously while working.
