“Spark is an up-close look at that moment of energy released when a hammer strikes a piece of hot iron,” newcomer to the Garden, Phil Proctor explains. “It’s a point of view frozen in time.” Owner and proprietor of Nucleus Sculpture Studio in Georgia, the Mississippi native holds a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from East Carolina University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Southern Mississippi and has been a professional sculptor practicing in Atlanta since 2003. “As a sculptor, I strive to design and execute artworks that intrigue and inspire a viewer about their place in an environment or space,” Proctor continues. “My work exhibits a relationship between our existence as a human species and the universe in which we exist, and I think that is particularly true with this piece. Spark is intended to encourage the viewer to observe a seemingly ordinary event from multiple perspectives – a technique which promotes open mindedness and critical thinking.”
