"Fiddle Head" by David Boyajian was featured in the Art in Roanoke 2017 to 2018 temporary exhibition. On the application cover page for the exhibition, David wrote that “Fiddle Head” was designed from steel that captured motion in time. The sculpture was designed to move visually from all viewing points with no stopping points. David stated that the sculpture “is a poetic narrative depicting the scattering or diaspora of seed forms in nature.” People are like seeds, they travel and act in similar ways. “Fiddle Head” is about “timing, releasing, holding on and letting go.”
As stated in the "City in Motion- Elmwood Art Walk" webpage, this sculpture is made of steel and sheet metal welded together. Boyajian describes his art work as having no front or back and no stopping point so it is “designed to move visually from all viewing points” and “allows me to capture motion and poetically suspend it in time.”
