      <image:title>Functional Sculpture - Meteor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Boulder and Stainless Steel 144" x 22" x 16" 2002 Private Collection, Worcester, VT Meteor is a 300-pound, glacially-sculpted boulder suspended in the air and pierced by a welded stainless steel arc. The sculpture speaks to Curtis ís earlier practice of hanging boulders, to his use of steel, and to his penchant for allowing the natural, untouched state of the boulder to carry the visual weight of the sculpture.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Slate and Stainless Steel 156" x 48" x 48" 2006 A large slab of slate stands on point on a stainless steel base. The work is a continuation of themes first expressed in Key to the Sea, but on a larger scale. Portal has, "a sense of largeness that doesn't come any other way. The interior of this slot is polished, by the way, which is fun to touch," said Curtis. "Slate has a very nice hand about it, but it does make you want to look through it, feel through it, put your hand through it. There's a gravitas to reaching through a stone."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Granite and Stainless Steel 162" x 35" x 35" 2011 Private Collection, Shoreham, VT Curtis's work in steel sculpture is influenced by his experience translating calligraphy into a three-dimensional form and by the neo-futurist Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, whose Turning Torso building is in Malm, Sweden. Audeamus(public collection) and The Kiss, consist of two distorted rhomboid prisms twisted around a center point. At 13.5-feet tall, The Kiss brings the two stainless steel columns to a romantic meeting point.</image:caption>

The natural shape of the boulder is elevated by the formal design of the base in a manner that both brings contrast to man-made versus natural forms but also asks the viewer to contemplate or privilege nature's work. A prism is cut into the boulder. Curtis uses holes in stone as a means of creating a lens, but depending on the position of the viewer the lens reveals less or more, allowing the viewer to gain multiple viewpoints. Like a labyrinth in a garden or a Miksang photograph, Thought Prism can be viewed as a tool for contemplation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Boulder and Stainless Steel 144" x 22" x 16" 2002 Private Collection, Worcester, VT Meteor is a 300-pound, glacially-sculpted boulder suspended in the air and pierced by a welded stainless steel arc. The sculpture speaks to Curtis ís earlier practice of hanging boulders, to his use of steel, and to his penchant for allowing the natural, untouched state of the boulder to carry the visual weight of the sculpture.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Glacial Granite Boulder 17” x 34” x 38” 2018 Private Collection, Tulsa, OK This sculpture, cut from a natural granite boulder, displays a standard technique used by the artist. Revealing and exploiting the stripe through the stone, he has carved and polished part of the boulder but left much of the stone unaltered. This contrast is a hallmark of Curtis’ work. The absence of plinth or base confirms the nature of the sculpture and allows placement on both hardscape or nestled into a garden setting.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Granite Glacial Boulder 60.00 " x 50.00 " x 40.00 " 2016 Public Collection, Tulsa Botanic Garden This sculpture moves the jigsaw puzzle, a universally recognized form of recreation, into the third dimension. Once again, Curtis references the unending advance of time with this piece. The granite was formed as bedrock in the Devonian Period about 380 million years ago, then broken free and shaped by ice during the repeated glaciation of the Pleistoscene in the last 100,000 years. Finally shaped into its current shape in the Holoscene period, it takes the familiar shape of a giant toy puzzle. “The stone has a long history, “ remarks Curtis, “and a long future. Eventually this stone sculpture will be reduced to sand before being compacted once again into a future generation of bedrock.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Champlain College, Burlington, VT Stainless Steel/Black Granite 120" x 60" x 68" 2014 A commission for Champlain College, the 10-foot tall, stainless steel Audeamus expresses the artist's idea of critical thinking made possible by dialogue, discussion and discourse with an underlying concept of boldness in education. Curtis achieved this by creating two abstract figures engaged in conversation, vague enough to invite interpretation, but explicit enough to be decodable by viewers. "Audeamus" is a Latin word meaning "we dare, may we venture, may we risk." The sculpture is located on the newly named Finney Quad, a collection of buildings on the northeast corner of Maple and South Willard Streets in Burlington, Vermont. The naming of the Quad and the sculpture is in honor of former Champlain College President David F. Finney.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gneiss Boulder, Granite 102" x 72" x 48" 2010 Mt. Defiance Cider Barn, Middleburg, Virginia A boulder stands upright on a granite pedestal. A square, removed from the center of the boulder, sits in front of the piece as a bench for the viewer. Frame for the Worldis a significant sculpture realizing a number of themes in Curtis's practice. Curtis acquired the stone from a road crew while driving around one day. "I had this stone for quite a while before I dared to cut it," he said. "I knew it was going to be an upright piece. I cut the base off, but I still couldn't bring myself to have the courage to cut it further. I had it for quite a while with just the bottom cut off." The exaltation of the boulder speaks to Curtis's practice of elevating stones. "You raise it up on a base like this and you're presenting it as a more precious-than-normal object," he said. The intervention of the stone, cutting a hole into it, shows man's mark in the natural world. The polished surface of the square hole creates an opportunity for the viewer to experience the incredible texture of the boulder. Again, this void in the stone makes the pathway for the viewer to not only look at it, but through it and into it. The negative space allows the viewer to experience the world on the other side through its lens. And finally, the bench created by the remnant encourages the viewer to sit, to rest, to ponder. "When they smash atoms, they talk about the resultant particles as daughter particles," said Curtis. "I think of this two part sculpture in that way. I like the way the two remain related somehow."</image:caption>

The inspiration came from Curtis's wife, artist Tari Swenson, who is also a calligrapher. The piece was made in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. The two worked up a clay model of the letter "O" written in brush on paper and Curtis fabricated the piece in steel.</image:caption>

It shows Curtis's use of negative space and his desire to make sculpture that fosters dialogue. The Focuser is also an example of how Curtis uses sculpture to engage in social advocacy. "There was this portion of sidewalk in Stowe that was aching to be built. No one was paying attention to it and I kept haranguing as many people as I could about the need for it," explained Curtis. When asked to participate in the 2005 EXPOSED sculpture festival, he saw an opportunity. He installed the sculpture near the sidewalk. "If you looked through this device, you saw where the sidewalk ought to be. It was meant to focus attention on the need for the sidewalk and it worked. The next year, the Town of Stowe built the sidewalk."</image:caption>

Hers was the first face the kids saw when they came in to the school. People just loved her. When she died, her children wanted to give something to the school in her honor. They wanted to do some kind of monument and leave it on the playground. That is a tall order, because you don't want a gravestone on a playground. We had to have something that honored her and the way she was always upbeat and smiling, and yet was appropriate for a playground."</image:caption>

Made at a time when the United States was engaged in multiple wars, the title refers to the way a party would end a military conflict by achieving its objectives or mitigating its failures and thus avoiding a quagmire. Presented as a gate or portal, Exit Strategy asks the question, "Are you going in or are you going out?"   Children have a different response to this sculpture. "When kids like a sculpture, it pleases me," said Curtis. "Their experience doesn't go through the normal filters that art frequently does. Exit Strategy, the kids just love. They can wander through it and climb on it. If you went inside it and laid down in there, it had an interesting acoustical property that made you feel strange. It is mighty strange to be inside a stone."</image:caption>

This sculpture was part of a series for an exhibition about the relationship between the United States and Japan. The exhibition was "about revisiting the relationship between the United States and Japan vis-a-vis the Second World War," explained Curtis. "Japan has become a major trading partner and economically really close to us, yet there are veterans who are still very, very bitter about the way that relationship was." "I think that social interaction can be enhanced on the personal level, on public level, on the political level, on the world level by dialogue. You have an opinion or you could have a belief or you can have an absolute conviction. If you have a conviction about something, you're probably not changing your mind."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Granite Boulders 130" x 50" x 48" 2009 $30,000 A reference to Constantin Brancusi's Endless Column, Endless Puzzle is the reconfiguration of boulders as puzzle pieces. "This comes back a little bit towards that whole thing of boulders being pedestrian. Here is a new spin or a new, playful way to call attention to them," said Curtis. It is interesting that the piece, having been installed at the West Branch Sculpture Park for a few years, takes on the life of boulders in the natural environment. Moss has started growing on them. An example of the harmony of Curtis's sculpture: objects that blend naturally into the environment and yet retain the mark of man's intervention on the natural world.</image:caption>

Yet the meaning of the sculpture, underscored by the title, continues his exploration of humankind’s place in the world. “The stone in this piece is Cheshire Quartzite from the lower Cambrian Period. It’s about 540 million years old, a couple of hundred million years older than the earliest dinosaurs. The high chromium stainless is very modern, contrasting the timelessness of the stone with the blink of time we think of as the present.”</image:caption>

Many years later, Key to the Sea represents an early exploration of making rectilinear holes in stone. The slab of slate stands upright on a granite base. The hole forms a, "lens that might be used to examine the history that's evident from the interior of the hole," said Curtis. "The point is to sometimes look into the stone, sometimes through it."</image:caption>

The geometric piercing and intentional display of industrial gauge steel mark the piece as a recent creation. “When the viewers learn the title of this piece I hope they for a time to reflect on the value of wisdom. Sometimes I think we don’t honor wisdom enough”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Exterior Sculpture - Gnomen 1</image:title>
      <image:caption>Slate, 24K Gold, Stainless Steel, Granite 127" x 36" x 36" 2014 $18,500 Throughout human history, the sun has figured large in physical well being, and cultural manifestations. People worship the sun, many calendar systems are based on the solar cycle, and it is the sun that is our ultimate source of all energy. Gnomon is an archetype of man's love for, dependence on, and reverence for our life-giving star. Made of slate and gilt, the gold leaf gilding references the sun, the shard of slate marks it as of the earth and it is vertically positioned to be a symbolic "gnomon," the part of every sun dial on which the sun's rays fall and measure its progression through sky and through time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Granite Glacial Boulder and Stainless Steel 17” x 34” x 32” $4,600 One continuous curved and polished surface joins two sides of unaltered, natural surfaces, a hallmark of the artist’s oeuvre. The crisply geometric riser beneath made of fabricated stainless steel brings the modern era to the otherwise ancient stone sculpture. The scale of this diminutive bench is clearly human both in creation and intent of use.</image:caption>
