Reading From the Book of Nature
2013
Reading From the Book of Nature presents Brad Howe's signature geometric vocabulary at its most refined, a compact yet commanding sculpture in high polished stainless steel that captures and refracts its surrounding environment in constant, shifting dialogue with light. Completed in 2013 and measuring approximately 50 by 81 by 32 centimeters, the work occupies a scale that feels simultaneously intimate and architecturally resolved. Its mirror-like surfaces amplify the sculptural form, dissolving the boundary between object and space in a way that rewards sustained attention from multiple vantage points. Howe's practice draws on a lineage of American geometric abstraction while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility rooted in precision fabrication and material intelligence. The title suggests an almost philosophical dimension, positioning the abstracted forms as a kind of natural language, one expressed through ratio, curve, and reflection rather than representation. That conceptual underpinning gives the work depth beyond its considerable formal elegance, making it as intellectually engaging as it is visually striking. For collectors, the sculpture's versatility is a notable asset. Its footprint accommodates placement on a pedestal, a low table, or an architectural ledge, allowing it to anchor a minimal interior or serve as a focal counterpoint within a more layered collection. The work is signed by the artist and is offered in excellent condition through Adamar Fine Arts, with no additional framing considerations required given its fully self-contained three-dimensional presence.
