MID-SIZED SCULPTURES
RELATED TO
PARAMETERS. PERIMETERS.
​
Several small sculptures were created based on the exterior steel forms of Parameters.Perimeters. (the artist’s earlier major touring exhibition), but each was created with its own individual meaning.
​
Cased Shadow
1979
Steel / Bronze / Wire
​
Cased Shadow features a bronze hanging figure enhanced by extensions of charred paper.
Memory
1979 – 1984
Steel / Glass
​
Wyrick attached importance to the letters “er” being the end of so many family words such as “mother,” “father,” “sister,” “brother,” “daughter,” etc. when by chance she found a glass chard with the letters “ER” on it. She decided to suspend it in one of the steel forms and named the sculpture Memory.
Poor Butterfly
Shadow Icon
1980
Steel / Glass / Bronze / Wire
Each sculpture in this group ranges from being a story to being a contained natural form, to being an
abstraction. Poor Butterfly is an example of a natural form captured in glass and bronze and Shadow Icon also in glass and bronze is shown as an icon, resembling a Cycladic figure.
Glass-winged Flyer, Memory & Cased Shadow
1980
Steel / Glass / Bronze / Wire
​
Wyrick preferred to exhibit these sculptures in groupings such as Glass-Winged Flyer, Memory & Cased Shadow.
