We can share it with the members. Any questions have to be addressed directly to the organization. Link below

“DAS BUCH 23” has been purchased and donated to the Haliburton Sculpture Forest in Haliburton, Ontario. The interactive book is installed next to “TERMINUS” which was purchased in 2002. Marianne Reim
My work takes inspiration from geometry. For me the square and the circle are starting points. And ending points. The square, defined by the horizontal and the vertical: it’s all you need. The circle: a snake biting its tail; the beginning and end; the still point. Geometric archetypes. But there is no perfect circle; there is no perfect square. The beauty of Pythagoras is within our minds. Rendered by the human hand, the square becomes imperfect, and becomes a part of the human world – where imperfection reigns. The rhythm of imperfection is beauty, where order and chaos dance, and sometimes balance. Indigo City is an assemblage of indigo-dyed Japanese paper, which has been cut, torn and assembled into a rhythmic grid.
I have work in the upcoming exhibition Breath Taking at the New Mexico Museum of Art. You can click on Exhibition Details for the museum web page. It runs March 13 to September 5, 2021.
Curated by Katherine Ware, the exhibition considers the social, philosophical, and spiritual issues around breath, which, during this year of Covid-19 and the George Floyd murder, is especially timely. The piece I have in the exhibition is attached below, with details as follows: Artist: Frank Rodick Title: Joseph (2004/09/26/00/15) Medium: Archival pigment print Dim: 100 x 80 cm Ed: 5+2AP
The image, part of the series Joseph, was constructed using a photograph of my father taken one hour after his death.

OSA elected member Tom Ashbourne (sculptor) says “This international award is beyond my wildest dreams. Please take the time to read the 10-page interview in DESTIG’s January 2021 edition where I share my perspective on art, creative process, and vision for my contemporary stone and assemblage sculptures. Thought-provoking questions posed by DESTIG’s editors take you through my journey from corporate executive to accomplished professional artist. The depth and breadth of questions helped e have a deeper understanding of my creative process and artistic expression.” www.DESTIG.net (current issue, starts on page 118)
