Artist, American, born 1951

The sculpture features two abstract, organic forms made of reflective metal, possibly bronze. The forms stand side by side with amorphous and bulging shapes. They emerge from rounded bases with elongated elements curving outward. The smooth yet irregular textures create reflections and highlights, enhancing the undulating form of the sculpture. The presentation on a flat rectangular base provides a contrast to the dynamic shapes, anchoring them in space.
