Artist, American, born 1936

The sculpture is abstract and elongated, composed of stacked, unevenly shaped segments that twist upward. It is made of a rich, warm brown material resembling wood, with a textured surface featuring visible grooves and patterns that follow the curves of the piece. The sculpture stands vertically, with its topmost section slightly more tapered than the base, conveying a sense of movement and fluidity in its tall, slender design. The base is wider and stable, providing grounding for the sculpture as it narrows and twists towards the top, demonstrating balance and dynamic form in relation to human perspective.
