About this artwork
The piece was inspired by a series of four small-scale abstract sculptures that were created about a year ago. They were composed of poured concrete and steel squares. Of course, if these were concrete, they would be too heavy to transport efficiently. So, I have redesigned them with steel rods instead. My sculpture is mostly all-welded construction, and I enjoy using different materials in their creation.
