ArtAround Roswell Permanent Sculpture

Granite Ring by Chris Rothermel

Purchased by Roswell Arts Fund and The Hagan Family Foundation as a lasting tribute to Robert Farley and his immeasurable contributions to the arts in our city.  2018

From 2005-2011, Rothermel was a sculpture professor at Hong Kong Baptist University in China, where he was asked to help start the Academy of Visual Arts. He received research grants to travel throughout China to different sculpture zones to find raw materials.

He found the raw material that created Granite Ring on one of these ventures. The core was cut out of it in its existing form, but it was about four times bigger. He was inspired by its history, symmetry and the beauty of the piece. He is interested in pulling and pushing surfaces and planes, the polishing of the piece, and the simple nature of it all.
