#making #sculptures that consist of several #elements had some practical reasons, as it facilitated the #handling, but it also allowed me to reconsider the #work after finishing it. This work derived from a small #leftover #metal #rack I #found on the streets.

Thereby the #sculpture unexpectedly became a #set of #tools to me, opening up #playful possibilities of #spatial #experience.

Got one of my photos printed 4ft X 6ft on 2X2ft acoustical tiles for a local restaurant. It is laid out on a table. Sorry about the angle, I just didn't have the room to take the photo any other way.
