Wire Dancefigure

Description

A slender figure formed from twisted black and white wire balances in a lively, outstretched pose. Its playful silhouette and distinct shadow bring a sense of movement to the minimalist composition. This small sculptural piece adds a thoughtful accent to a shelf, desk, or art display.

Artist

Sculptor in Pittsburgh. Mid scale figurative work in reclaimed steel, torsos and hands mostly, sourced from old bridges and machine shops around western PA. Took me three years to stop fighting the material and let heat distortion do some of the talking. Still cracking welds.
