| Summary: | "A Second Wind, Reimagined, features Jerry Wennstrom's second body of art, created over the span of more than two decades. This fascinating volume, now in paperback, presents his never-seen early paintings -- which he destroyed in 1979 -- as a liberating act of greater vision and inspiration. A Second Wind also shows the massive, archetypal, interactive sculptural works he created with his return to a settled life in the world -- some fifteen years later. Unlike other artists, Wennstrom has not sold his works, nor have they been widely exhibited. They all sit enshrined in his dramatically-painted large exhibit space beneath his home in the woods of Whidbey Island, WA. The few who have seen his sculptures were given a personal tour by Wennstrom himself, or they have viewed them when attending workshops in the gallery space. His meaningful tales of his early life, his bold-yet-transformative decision to destroy his life's work, and the intriguing stories behind his creations are as transformational as the art itself. The book also contains an eclectic collection of "creative responses" to his art by dozens of artists, poets, authors, and colleagues -- as well as a glimpse into his life with his wife Marilyn Strong."-- |
