If you happen to be over on the Front Range starting July 17th, do not miss Will Clift's new sculpture, "Bending In and Out, a Progression," purchased by the Denver Botanic Gardens as part of their permanent collection.

Directions: as you enter the Gardens from the ticket office, proceed straight down the main path. You'll pass the outdoor concert stage on your left, the greenhouse / arboretum on your right. Continue until you reach the large pond; the Café will be ahead to your left, and a gazebo will be straight ahead, on the far side of the pond. 

Balance, Grace, & Motion is a defining element in both Burchard and Clift’s woodwork. Both artist’s work are intrinsically different however both convey a sense of elegance. Clift’s widely recognized balance sculptures transcend time periods. He makes use of traditional woodworking techniques as well as contemporary technology with the use of carbon fiber materials. “My sculptures consist of intersecting parts that stand or suspend together in equilibrium. No part is extraneous, and the delicacy of this balance reveals the fine line between weight and weightlessness, motion and stillness.” Burchard answered the call of madrone burl wood. He makes use of off casted “burls” from the veneer industry. Through a lengthy drying process he is able to create whimsical forms that defy expectations of woodworking.
