Powder coated aluminum

From the artist:
My work titled Spring is a powder coated aluminum work. It was completed in 2024 to 2025. It is a sculpture in the round meant to be seen in the round, which increases the scope of the viewer’s experience. It is said of my sculpture that it is the integrity of something grown rather than assembled. I subscribe to this emphasizing process of growth in not only nature but also in our our very own human nature.
