Wooden sculpture with circular mesh screen, lit sphere, drafting tools, and three numbered shoe forms hanging below
36-37-36

36–37–36 draws on Pythagorean geometry, integrating elemental forms—circle, triangle, rectangle, cylinder, sphere—into a composition that feels both measured and intuitive. The title itself, made of numbers rather than words, echoes that same logic. A T-square with musical notation stands vertically at upper left, balanced by a wooden triangle at right; both tools were once used in drafting, reinforcing the sculpture’s connection to systems of proportion.

Two imagined axes intersect at the lit sphere in the center: one vertical, running from the T-square through the ball to the three shoe forms below; the other diagonal, stretching from the notated cylinder at lower right through the large circular screen. The background’s faint horizontal stains echo the lines of musical staff paper—repeated both at the top and bottom of the piece—subtly aligning structure with surface. Though rooted in geometry and craft, the result is quietly evocative, a kind of spatial fugue tuned to shifting color and fixed form.
