‘Scarlet Natural Chaos’ at the Georgetown waterfront

Weighing 28 tons and measuring 41 feet tall, “Scarlet Natural Chaos” by Arnie Quinz was completed in 2017. Overlooking the Georgetown Waterfront, the sculpture features an assemblage of unique, sculpted organic forms brought together in a nest-like composition. According to the artist, the piece was inspired by both femininity and the Scarlet Oak tree – rooted in the history of DC, and reinforcing the cultural link between civic symbolism and natural imagery. Quinz says it’s a statement on modern culture’s loss of connection with nature. (taken from the georgetowndc.com website)

I find it rather strange looking although certainly eye catching. V

To me, it looks like junk caught up in the branches of a tree. It really does stand out, though.

Whimsical and chaotic., almost like the head of a mythical creature.

Nicely composed image to show this eye catching piece. It does strike me as birdlike in an artsy sort of way.

What an amazing collection of elements. The man at the base of the sculpture gives me a good sense of how tall it is.

Next time someone may try to tie up a bundle of recycled items on a basketball pole..... Great capture of the curved lines of this 41 feet tall stand and the curved lines on the ground. ~VV~

Well seen and composed. V

As often in contemporary art, the artist multiplies explanations and words to mask the emptiness of the work...
Happily your composition is fine !

certainly a striking work....good you offer an interpretation, as its meaning is not at all obvious..
