Alexander produced an ambitious series of monumental works involving space and spatial relationships. His sculptures are always abstract and conceptual and contain biomorphic and geometric elements, which would nevertheless have symbolic qualities.
I would describe my bronze, marble, and stone works from that period as being classical abstract. A characteristic that these works have in common with Moore, Hepburn, Naguchi, and a few others
Monumental Works
Jubilee Oracle (The Queen’s Oracle)
A sculpture on the South Bank of the Thames in London between the Festival Hall and County Hall was commissioned by Parliament to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation.
Bronze 4’x2,6’x2’ 1980
The Cross
This sculpture is the most obvious example of specific symbolism. The cross is void, form carved from surrounding matter
Marble 6’x4’x4,6’ 1981
Oracle 10
The sculpture resembles an opening stem, like a curved pair of hands reaching up.
Bronze 6’x20’x18’, 1981
Pallisandro
Sculpture, made to resemble its natural form, enhances beautiful patterns and markings in the marble. Slightly twisted columnar shape, which suggests the idea of the leaf just beginning to unfurl and separate itself from the parent stem.
Marble 7,6’x2’x8’, 1982
Duet in Bronze
Spinning shells, seeking tranquility and balance in nature.
4,6’x6,6’,1982
The Great Tower
Voluminous 33’ bronze sculpture at Rutland Waters, Leicestershire, England, “The Great Tower,” which at the time was the largest bronze sculpture of modern times.
Bronze 31’x16’x7’,1980
Duet
Duet consists of two related forms, like spinning tops, which have been given a spiral twist that suggests potential motion. More importantly, the relation between them changes as the spectator moves and thus becomes partners in a kind of dance.
Marble 8’x8’x18’,1981
Curved Air7
The wave metaphor in this sculpture moves horizontally, then rises and turns on itself like a breaking wave.
Bronze,4,6’x3,6’x6,6’ 1982
Three White Towers
Sculpture refers t to nature but summons us a different set of cultural differences. Far “Eastern rather than European, resembling mountains painted by great Chinese artists of the Tang and Sung dynasties.
Marble, 6’x3,6’x3,6’ 1982
