About this artwork
"Torch," a 1996 sculpture by David Hayes, reflects his abstract and expressive manipulation of metal, crafted in painted, welded steel and measuring 21 x 12 x 6 inches. This artwork features a series of upward-reaching, flame-like elements that elegantly curve and intertwine, suggesting the dynamic movement of a torch's flame. The black paint applied to the steel enhances the silhouette, emphasizing its form against any backdrop.
The sculpture’s… design, with its fluid, organic shapes, conveys a sense of growth and energy, embodying the metaphorical essence of a torch as a symbol of enlightenment, guidance, or celebration. Each steel cut-out in the composition appears to interact gracefully with the others, creating an interplay of shadows and light that adds to its visual impact.
