I was burnt out from finishing school online, so this was a great way to get back into my creative process,” Jackson said. In March at the beginning of quarantine, Jackson began to work on the design while completing online classes. One neighbor rolled a wheel down the street when delivering it directly to the Belva Lockwood Inn. “I trusted that.” Procuring the wheels was a yearlong process. “I like to incorporate a lot of different textures into a space…I told Tim what our vision was and he put it together,” she said. The sculpture consists of 28 (mostly) rusted, cast-iron wheels of different sizes – including several blue wheels – stretching 38 feet across the west end of the yard.Īccording to Julie Lovelass, she reached out to Jackson about one year ago to create a large-scale sculpture out of vintage wheels. Elegant, asymmetrical, and modern in its design, Vintage Momentum stands over six feet tall at its highest point and is a series of vintage cascading wheels. On Saturday, July 19, to commemorate its completion, Jackson, Ike and Julie Lovelass, owners of the Belva Lockwood Inn, and Tioga Arts Council members held a small, socially-distanced “plating ceremony.” Under the hot July sun, supporters applauded Jackson as he added his final flourish to the piece: a plate made from a welded wrench, inscribed “Vintage Momentum, Tim Jackson, 2020.” Vintage Momentum is the title of a commissioned sculpture by Tim Jackson in the backyard of the Belva Lockwood Inn in Owego, NY.
