Forrest “Frosty” Myers’s Four Corners, an open, incomplete cube of fascinating visual complexity, is composed of four different materials: bronze, stainless steel, weathering steel, and concrete. It exemplifies an interest, held by many sculptors in the 1960s and 1970s, to engage the viewer physically and mentally and to play with notions of perception. Here, the viewer is invited to enter the sculpture’s space and to conceptually complete its form. The work activates additional layers of meaning through its title, which refers not only to the four corners of a cube but also to the four materials used in its creation, and perhaps also to the far reaches of the globe. 

Myers’s sculptural practice ranges from the functional, including chairs made from unconventional materials, to the monumental, namely, an architectural intervention spanning the side of a building in New York’s Soho neighborhood known as The Wall (1973). Much of the artist’s work is on view at his Wild Turkey Sculpture Garden and Museum in Damascus, Pennsylvania.
