Over the Top
Date created: June 20, 2006
Bruce White’s work is typically a unique balance between ancient symbolism and contemporary science. His website says, “The artist does not usually begin with a specific idea in mind, but rather, relies on manipulation of paper or thin sheet metal to generate a “surprise” solution which can only be fully realized three dimensionally.” This is particularly apparent in his work “Over the Top” in Oklahoma City. The different shapes and movement in the piece is directly influenced by the specific purpose of the action park where it resides.
“Over the Top” is located at the Mat Hoffman Action Sports Park in Oklahoma City, which was just named one of the Top 10 Action Sports Parks in the nation by “The 10 Best of Everything Families: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers.” The sculpture resembles the different types of obstacles throughout the entire park.
