LSE: 2010 [My Pi - by John Adduci]
My Pi..
By John Adduci..
Description: 12’ x 9’ x 7’ / Aluminum
Location: North Avenue and Orchard
Sponsor: General Iron
A part of Lakefront Sculpture Exhibit [LSE] 2010..
From the official website of Lakefront Sculpture Exhibit..
Adduci’s art has been widely exhibited across North America yet he has remained in residence at Old Town’s Sedwick Studios for over 30 years. He has works on public display at The Chicago Children’s Museum, The Museum of Public Art in Denver, the SAS Institute in Cary, NC, and Gallery in the Park in Altona, Manitoba, Canada.
Adduci’s pieces are fluid fabrications of aluminum, bronze and steal. In this piece he takes the versatile symbol π and urges the viewer to think deeper and differently about this familiar shape. The Greek letter’s significances range from uses fraternal to mathematical. Adduci’s “My Pi” attempts to broaden the symbol’s interpretations even further..
