Double Helix Vertical

The Marcus Ashley Gallery is often mistaken for a museum because of its colossal interiors and roomy walkways. Unlike traditional art viewing spaces, the gallery maintains a close connection with its clients and customers. You’ll naturally feel at home as you interact with the gallery’s staff and discover what lies around every corner.  The imposing Lyman Whitaker art, a collection of handmade wind sculptures at the entrance to the gallery, will hold you in awe.

Whitaker discovered his calling as a wind sculpture artist in the early 80s. His wind sculptures have been received with enthusiasm and appreciation by fans and collectors worldwide. Several of his pieces have found new homes in Canada, Europe, the United States, and Australia. Whitaker approaches every sculpture with unrivaled care and attention. In Double Helix Vertical, the very essence of a living organism is captured through delicately shaped metallic elements.

Whitaker’s work captures his deep passion and love for the environment. Through this piece, the sculptor reminds us of how we are interconnected to all living things, particularly nature. His message on sustainability and conscious artistic process are an inspiration to his peers on how art can be used to change and influence critical conversations on the climate crisis.
