It comes from a private Kansas collection, obtained form the Moline Illinois estate of a John Deere Company executive. This rare and important 19-inch tall preliminary study is not signed. Industrial casts are coarser and relate more to the concept of the tool.' Other foundries followed - my cast iron sculptures made in an industrial foundry, not an art foundry. Eventually, we became great friends and did a lot of work together. Still, it took a lot of persuasion to convince Signor Normano Bernadini to cast that wedge. The originals could be made out of more malleable material.' She continues, ' …I call WWU's sculpture Normanno because the man who owned its foundry in Terni (Italy) was named Normanno.

At that point, I decided to shift to casting since it would free me to work directly in iron. It was initially difficult because I felt I needed to do the forging myself, though I was not physically capable of manipulating the forge and maneuvering huge weights of steel. This began with the first wedge I created - a very small, forged steel sculpture, made with a drop forge. Then, the wedges themselves invaded my mind. ' I used wedges in making some works to split the sculptures and create a space between - to keep them engaged in a dialogue. With each new mutation, you wonder if you're finished when you actually need to push on to a final form.' As a work in process, it is inevitably seductive. This began when I was working in foundries and factories and became involved with the beauty of the instruments I used. The embryonic state of the tool evolves into something beyond a tool.

The artist goes on to say, ' Normanno Wedge is part of a series of sculpture based on tools and allowing their metamorphosis into something else. ''Positioned on top of a mound, the wedge shape creates a type of urban altar.'' Pepper relates, that this is a seminal work for her, which emphasizes verticality as well as integrating the earth and sky. This important cast iron maquette, small preliminary study for a monumental sculpture, was precursor to the seven-foot tall Western Washington University Campus installation of the same name.īeverly Pepper mentions casting, ' a very small, forged steel sculpture' in her verbal transcript discussing the evolution of the Normanno Wedge at WWU. 35: BEVERLY PEPPER (1922-2020) MAQUETTE: NORMANNO WEDGE Beverly (Stoll) Pepper (1922-2020)
