Maquette IV High Wind is an experiential object that, when carefully observed, reveals the unique working methods of Lynn Chadwick as a sculptor. He was first an architect and draughtsman, who found his way to freelance sculpting through creating mobiles and constructions rather than forms and models. His novel approach to sculpture was a radical departure from traditional methods and set Chadwick on a trajectory of success.

As with most of his best work, he first framed a central “skeleton,” and then applied layers of “skin” to this central core. As his artistic practice continued to evolve, by the mid-1970s Chadwick became absorbed by movement. In Maquette IV High Wind, a strong headwind reverberates through the woman’s hair and skirt with a visceral strength, while simultaneously concealing her face. This unseen gust influences the movement of the static metal. The interplay between the two elements reveals a beautiful tension that is perceptible in all the subtle variations of the High Wind series.
