SLINGSHOT

Gregory Johnson, begins his sculptures with a circle, and shapes the steel into unique, and elegant forms, meticulously creating each sculpture with expert craftsmanship.

The circle, is a presence in our every day life, and the fact that it has no corners, and is just one beautiful line, with no beginning, no middle, and no end. An incredible spiritual shape, that invites interpretation, and is so very common in our landscape. 

 Lyrical and caressing rings form beautiful and contemporary sculptures that suggest the pathways of life, the forces of nature or emotions of our humanity. The entire circle, whole and complete, contrasts with segments of the circle, creating a mix of contradictions. This sculpture is for sale and owned by the Town of Yountville. 

A Poem Titled: Time by Marie Emma Markel

He throws a pebble in the wilderness

It bounces off the dirt trail

Brushes against fallen leaves

Hits the majestic tree trunk

Descends to the lake.

He stares at the ripple

Water drops splashing up

Infinite concentric circles

Flowing further out from the core,

Ebbing, morphing.

Impact of one moment

Larger than imagination,

Time stands still.

The mind carries on.
