8’w x 15’h x 8’d

From the artist:

Fracture is a new work in my continued investigation and design of outdoor sculptures. In the piece, comprised of three units, I am illustrating an active growth or explosion. In a consideration of scale, the individual units are
seriously enlarged but were derived from the basic building block unit which are pixels. The individual pixels,
elements, are fabricated from square steel tubing. The square units, struck from the earth, vertically explode and
challenges the space around and above their own existence. I hope that the work ignites a visceral response from the viewer and offers them an opportunity to question and explore their own feelings. No personal response is more significant than any other. Taking a second look from many angles while circling the piece offers a kinetic experience.
