DiCotelydon in the Sculpture Field

The Sculpture Field’s 4-acre grassy slope exhibits outdoor sculptures year round that harmonize with the rural landscape.

Artists are invited to loan pieces for long term exhibition while Sculpture Barn represents David Boyajian’s work ongoing in the field.

In the thin autumn mist hanging over the long, grassy slope, they stand like sentinels. Some of the outsized steel sculptures mounted on elongated, delicate columns are 5 feet high. Others stretch up to 14 feet.

Their rich sienna color, the subtle handiwork of their creator, sculptor David Boyajian, harmonizes with the rural landscape.

Boyajian’s outdoor sculptures dramatically reflect the influence of nature on his work.

Some he calls "Cotyledons,” the first single leaves, or pair of leaves, produced by the seed embryo of a flowering plant.

"They all become metaphors for growth and life as we see it.”

Brian Saxton, The News Times, Nov., 2003

"I see it as extracting components from nature, putting them into my work and then reintroducing them back into the landscape.”

The outdoor sculptures dotting his "sculpture field” along the corner meadow of the 4-acre property are only part of what the Boyajian's are calling,

"The Sculpture Barn."
