Like nature itself, the sculptor takes his time with his ideas, returning to forms and expanding on them in new ways. This exhibition is a product of Wheeler’s dedication – to his practice and to the earth. His sculptures stand not as earthly relics, but as reminders of nature’s majesty. Wheeler represents nature in the hope that cultural permanence may protect it from the damage we wreak upon it and open our eyes to its virtue.
