Knowledge
βKnowledgeβ at the Odin Apartments in NE Minneapolis depicts two Nordic Runes and evokes the Norse God Odin through the cedar and steel 14β sculpture. On permanent display in NE Minneapolis.
Inspired by the Norse myth of Γdinnβs (Odin) pursuit of knowledge and his willingness to sacrifice anything, even an eye, to attain itβKnowledge depicts Odin with his left eye missing.
The cedar beams are reminiscent of Viking ships and will age and gray with time. Integrated into this piece are two Nordic runes which folklore indicates may have been associated with Odin.
