The Valdese Public Art Commission selected their
first piece of public art entitled THREE GRACES. In Greek
mythology, Beauty, Mirth, and Good Cheer, were very admirable
Graces later depicted during the Renaissance by numerous artists
and sculptors. The artist, Carl Billingsley's version of
the "three graces", celebrates these qualities in terms of
geometric figures. These sculptures exhibit the same
geometry of form but have different size, materials, and texture
that responds to each change of light and atmosphere. One
moment THREE GRACES will sparkle in bright sunshine, another the
three pieces will show their colors differently against a gray
sky. Carl Billingsley hopes his sculpture will always
bring mirth and good cheer to its viewers.
