Kaikoo Series No. IV & XVI

Kaikoo Series No. IV & XVI

Betty Gold, 1987

Kaikoo Series No. IV & XVI by Betty Gold is two painted steel pieces and was sponsored by Brea Tech Center.

“From a basic set of shapes, I design several different models – or maquettes – then build them in steel and choose which piece integrates best into the commissioned landscape. The maquette also provides the visual and architectural reference needed to scale the work to its monumental dimensions. I still continue to personally oversee construction and site preparation for each of my installations to ensure the rigid-quality standards I’ve upheld throughout my 45-year career as a professional artist.”

“My continuing goal is to create art that brings a sense of joy and imaginative flight to those who will engage with it, and that will endure long into the future. I also hope to motivate, represent, and inspire more women sculptors to assert themselves into the competitive art market, where they’ve yet to become dominant members.”
