DROP SCULPTURES

• • installation • in situ • indoors • ongoing •

A Drop Sculpture is an art installation made at an indoor location, inspired by that location. The only rule Steur gives himself when creating a new one is that something has to drop or fall continuously. The ancient Greeks knew: With persistence, a drop of water hollows out the stone. When water repetitively drips in Drop Sculpture #4 for example, the gentle though powerful quality of it can be felt. Although every installation is different in form, they all give a willing observer the opportunity to lose track of time and maybe therewith, redefine space and matter.
