Twofold: Harlow

Nick Hornby’s largest sculpture to date titled Twofold was commissioned by Harlow Art Trust. It is the 100th piece in Harlow’s public sculpture collection which includes works by Auguste Rodin, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, and Elizabeth Frink, among many others, so is a fitting environment for an artist whose subject is frequently the canon and its construction. For this commission, Hornby has crossed one of the most canonic of figurative sculptures, Michelangelo’s David, with a curving line from a 1925 Kandinsky drawing. In one rotation, David is visible; in another, it is Kandinsky’s abstract line.
