Sculptor, American, born 1933

The sculpture features an abstract assembly of industrial-looking components, such as pipes and flat metal plates, manipulated into a vertically oriented structure. Made of rusted metal, the sculpture appears weathered and is composed of different metallic parts combined to give the impression of repurposed or discarded industrial materials. It stands on a white pedestal in an indoor gallery space with other art installations in the background.
