Gary C. Dwyer - Skulptura Spominski park Poljana 1984

Gary C. Dwyer (San Luis Obispo, Kalifornija, ZDA / California, USA), 1984

Dwyerjeva skulptura je bila skrbno načrtovana za vedutni pogled ob magistralni cesti pri vstopu v spominski park Poljana.

Dva velikanska, iz jeklene pločevine zvarjena kvadra, ki počivata na peščenih, s travo poraslih gomilah, sta se nasilno razklenila in z grozečimi ostmi simbolizirata dramatičnost dogodkov ob koncu druge svetovne vojne. Ambientalno zasnovana kompozicija z večplastnim vsebinskim sporočilom označuje krajinsko prelomnico med zgornjo in spodnjo Mežiško dolino.

Lokacija: Spominski park Poljana pri Prevaljah (material: varjene masivne jeklene plošče Železarne Ravne na oblikovanih travnatih gomilah).

Dwyer's sculpture was meticulously conceived for the vista along the main highway at the entrance to the Poljana Memorial Park.

Two colossal cuboids welded from heavy sheet steel, resting on sandy, grass-covered earthen mounds, break apart with aggressive force. Their menacing, razor-sharp projections symbolize the tragic drama of the final clashes of World War II in Europe. Designed as an environmental earthwork with layered symbolic resonance, the composition articulates a geographic and historical threshold between the Upper and Lower Meža Valley.

Location: Poljana Memorial Park near Prevalje (material: welded structural steel plates from the Ravne Steelworks integrated into sculptured earthen mounds).
