Time TotemTime Totem serves as a testimony to one of Alan Sonfist's most renowned genres of work - his unique brand of geological sculptures. Like the totem poles of Native American's, Sonfist's Time Totem is meticulously ingrained with meaning and history. The sculpture is made of rocks taken from both the East and West to symbolize the collision of tectonic plates that has created the Alaskan fault lines. Layer by layer, the totem is constructed to embody the geological history of the area, spanning back millions of years. The monumental sculpture remains in Anchorage, Alaska where observers are reminded of the colossal events continually occurring beneath their feet. Alan Sonfist's geological sculptures such as Time Totem allow the Earth to tell its dramatic story through art and form. Location: Anchorage, Alaska |
