1. Kelly Goff Marker
Inscription. Kelly Goff is interested in edges, spaces between things, points of tension, distances, lines, throughlines, and the displacement of resources. He grew up next to an oil refinery on a Caribbean island and this small geographic coincidence still colors much of Goff's sense of the world and his exploration of it as an artist. Kelly is fueled by contrasts of all sorts. Continuous Line V (levity), 2022 is a doodle, made of lengths of thick-walled steel pipe, which are bent with hydraulic assistance into partial loops and arcs of dynamic radii. The curved segments are then welded end-to-end, organized intuitively to create a continuous line drawing in three dimensional space.
 
Erected by The Avenue Concept.
