Measuring The Future
2013
Measuring The Future is a compact yet commanding work in high-polished stainless steel, completed by Brad Howe in 2013 as part of a broader sculptural inquiry into geometric abstraction. At just under 42 centimetres tall, the piece achieves a sense of weight and presence that far exceeds its modest dimensions, its mirrored surfaces capturing and distorting ambient light in ways that shift with every change in viewing angle. The refined finish is not merely decorative but integral to the work's conceptual proposition, transforming the surrounding environment into an active participant in the composition. Howe has long been recognized for his ability to render complex spatial ideas through restrained, precisely engineered forms, and this sculpture exemplifies that discipline. The abstract geometry invites prolonged looking, resisting any single definitive reading while maintaining an internal coherence that feels both inevitable and surprising. The title itself carries a quiet philosophical resonance, suggesting that measurement, typically a tool of certainty, might be turned toward something as elusive and open-ended as the future. Signed by the artist and available through Adamar Fine Arts, Measuring The Future is well-suited to serious collectors seeking a work of sculptural integrity that performs equally well in residential, corporate, or institutional settings. Its scale makes it adaptable without compromising its authority, and its stainless steel construction ensures lasting material stability. This is a piece that rewards close attention over time, continuing to offer new visual experiences as light conditions and surroundings evolve.
