Angled Tangle combines various materials referencing the design of public and private spaces. The work balances graphic description with material eventfulness, and consists of five triangles each described by a different material—yellow bollards, blue bollards, a cut in the ground, diamond plate steel, and an elaborate ‘lamp shade’ on a lamp post. The lamp post holds a collection of mismatched light fixtures ranging from security floodlights to domestic fixtures. The triangle is compelling because it proposes a sense of autonomy while at the same time jostling with and against the rectilinear design of the lawn and walkways that contain the work. The possible angles, dynamism, and complexity of this intersection are infinite. Angled Tangle incorporates and is framed by the grass of the museum lawn and engages the space for which it was conceived. The work embeds a formal and abstract structure inside an orchestration of a visceral and immediate phenomenal experience.

Stockholder’s consistent investigation into our experience with color and place spans three decades and includes drawings, small scale sculptures, and site specific installations. These vibrant works consistently carry a kind of picture making into multiple planes, allowing the viewer the unique opportunity to experience painting and sculpture simultaneously.
