Artist, American, 1914 - 2005

The sculpture features a circular, disk-like object with a rough, industrial appearance. The main body is bright yellow and seems to be made of metal with visible rust and texture. There are evenly spaced holes across the yellow surface and the disk's edge is rusted. Three objects, resembling rugged shoes, are attached to the sculpture—one at the top right, one at the top left, and one at the bottom tethered with wire or string. The sculpture combines elements of found objects and industrial materials.
