> DESCRIPTION
Gobi, L.A. by Bob Wysocki is a contemporary earthwork made up of several thousand pounds of sand from the desert in North Las Vegas. Strategically placed fans will sculpt and create a natural sand dune surround a mound of sand on the floor of the gallery. It will change as the time passes; though exist within the confines of the space. The seemingly featureless structure comes into focus but with each passing minute the scale shifts from 2D to 3D and back again. Upon close inspection the dune is built and moves and shifts one grain at a time. The dunes inherent beauty is created simply by air moving over sand yet the complex influence of the air current upon its surface determines the articulation at any given moment. It is this simple physical phenomenology that creates an object of perfection, one of a kind, unrepeatable.
