Provenance / HistoryThe sculpture is a unique multiple. In this proportion, it was first created in 2004. Each sculpture is hand built in clay, slab technique and kiln fired at 2000 degrees. Each sculpture is hand patinated, each surface finish is entirely unique. 

Story / Additional InfoLove Letters is a powerful, iconic symbol, a monumental kiss and hug that expresses a message everyone immediately understands; the universal theme of Love. This playful, giant kiss and hug sculpture generates a smile in all who see it.

The Hug O ring is in an Infinity Ring. The contours that encircle the ring have no beginning and no end. Touch any edge of the ring with a fingertip and trace its contour. After going around two complete revolutions you will have traced the circumference of both the inner and outer contours of the Hug.

X was an early antecedent of the acronym SWAK, “sealed with a kiss”, which became popular during World War I for soldiers to imprint on their letters to loved ones at home.

Like all of my Infinity Ring sculpture and jewelry designs, Love Letters evokes ancient Feng Shui principles. The never-ending circular nature of its Infinity Ring form promotes infinite peace, love, abundance, healing, and serenity.

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.
