Gego at Guggenheim Museum in New York City is an interesting perspective into how we are literally wired to work.
What is most intriguing about Gertrud Goldschmidt’s artistry is that she didn’t become a professional artist until her mid-forties. When her marriage along with her aspirations to be an architect hit a proverbial wall, she didn’t retreat or retire from it at all. With nothing more than spools of wire, Gego created her own space and became an acclaimed architect of air. She continued this work until her death at age 82. She said, “I do not know where the result of my work comes from. I do know that it starts with my hands, my eyes and my emotions.”
GEGO—Measuring Infinity set in the Guggenheim Museum’s spiraling rotunda is a reminder that our work is a healthy part of who we are and why we are wired to continue to create in this world. Her work reinforces that the end of work is not the goal, it’s a creative process that continues to build in us and take on many different forms as we move throughout our journey in this world. #MentorshipMoments #MentorshipInMinutes
