Twister Star

The art scene in California has grown exponentially over the last few decades, with Lake Tahoe being one of the best locations to view and buy art. We welcome visitors from all over the country and world to experience the grandeur of the collections on display at the Marcus Ashley Gallery. Also on display are impressive Lyman Whitaker art exhibits of wind sculptures. The sculptor works out of his Zion National Park studio, where he designs and creates all his pieces from scratch. Collectors with a penchant for unusual and bold sculptures will enjoy Whitaker’s work.

The sculptor channels the forces of nature into his wind sculpture, Twister Star. There is an element of chaos, which appears tamed and subdued in this piece. The sculptor places a cascading spiral of stars across supports of varying lengths. As the sculpture spins with the wind, the metallic elements reanimate the rotating column of a twister. Whitaker invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and power of nature in Twister Star. By combining unlikely elements, he creates a fascinating display of form, shape, and perspective.

Interested buyers will enjoy watching Twister Star spin gracefully in a garden, backyard, lawn, or courtyard.
