San Diego Union-Tribune art critic Robert Pincus has written an overview of Carlsbad resident Kennth Capps‘ solo sculpture show Metered which is currently running at the William D. Cannon Art Gallery.
On the gallery floor are sculptures like “Emit” (1984) and “Convert B” (1984) that evoke missile heads or bombs. Capps’ four “Equator” works (1996-2007), are inspired by celestial bodies; each resembles a fragment of a planet with a broad ring like Saturn’s and there is one of them in each corner of the room. Some floor works, like “Axis 4” (1984) – a ribbed semi-spherical contour – are solid forms, while others such as “Purge A” (1988) are hollow and you can peer within. Capps mostly uses muted color but he isn’t beyond using a brilliant color, as with the red in “Equator 337°” which works so well that you wish for a couple more flourishes in the exhibition.
Metered runs through August 17 and admittance is free at the Cannon Gallery at 1775 Dove Lane.

I wonder what the Earth fragment looks like? I’m guessing a sad saggy clump of steel. once strong and sturdy, but now weak and depleted, melting onto the floor and into a narrow crack…A puff of smoke could work too…
