About this artwork
This piece stands 10' tall and is made with .25 mild steel. The sculpture was commissioned by Madison County, NC and is part of a
plan to highlight manufacturers in Madison County through the Madison County Manufacturing Art Park. It is the first sculpture
selected for the park and highlights the manufacturer, Advanced Superabrasives, Incorporated, that creates specialized cutting wheels.
Their cutting wheels are on NASA's Mars Rovers, as part of… the robotic arms that retrieve and cut into Martian rock, in search of water and
life, which directly inspires the design of this sculpture.

« My goals in art-making are exploring the nature of who I am, and my relationship to the world. »
At age nine, American painter and sculptor David Sheldon was hospital bound after a major operation and was given his first oil-painting kit- he hasn't stopped making art since. The theme of Sheldon's sculpture work revolves around the question, "Who am I, and what is my relationship to the Infinite?" Regarding his paintings, Sheldon works intuitively, and likes to constantly question his methods. Sheldon't futuristic steel sculptures and abstract expressionist oil paintings are fluid, bright, and intriguing.
