From the Artist:
“Settle” is one of a series of exterior looping steels sculptures meant to capture those fleeting graceful moments of a descending motion. The sculptures start as smaller maquettes and are scaled up proportionally. Steel’s structural capacities make it an ideal material to capture delicate movements and give them strength and size.
