Story / Additional InfoLove Letters is a monumental ceramic two-part sculpture, a double tetrahedron X and a three revolution infinity ring O. The sculpture’s vibrant surface has a copper and iron oxide patina.
A powerful, iconic symbol, Love Letters expresses a message that everyone immediately understands: the universal theme of Love. As we usually see xo small, accompanying a loved one’s signature in a card or letter, the unexpected monumental size and easy-to-read symbolism of Love Letters makes an especially powerful visual impact.
The X is made of two tetrahedron triangles. Long symbolic of a kiss, X was an early antecedent of the acronym SWAK, “sealed with a kiss”, which became popular during World War I for soldiers to write on their letters to loved ones at home. The circular infinity ring form of the O has its own special legend. Some believe that O came to symbolize a hug as it represents an embrace of two pairs of arms hugging.

Charles Sherman - United States

Art Brokerage: Charles Sherman American Artist: b. 1947. Charles Sherman is an American artist best known for his continuum sculptures, especially the three-dimensional Möbius, or infinity ring, a form first visualized by the 19th century German mathematician and astronomer, A. F. Möbius. The enigmatic infinity ring has no beginning and no end; the bottom side becomes the topside, and the inside becomes the outside. Sherman's infinity ring sculptures are mysterious, their curving forms an expression of absolute beauty. His award-winning work has been exhibited widely in the United States and Asia, and is included in museum collections. Sherman has interpreted the infinity ring form in diverse materials, including bronze, ceramic, glass mosaic, aluminum, Lucite and stainless steel. His many sculptural variations reflect Sherman's study of ancient civilizations, religions and cultures from around the world, and sacred geometry. Paralleling ancient Feng Shui principles, the never-ending circular nature of Sherman's infinity ring sculptures promote infinite love, healing, abundance, harmony and serenity.
