Coalesce
Artist Statement:
Coalesce represents the growing together of a community to form a whole. It does this by captivating the viewer with two strong foundational latticework planes of mild steel that are developing a vibrant natural rust patina. These two planes coalesce, allowing three abstract stainless steel forms to cantilever at varying heights from the center support system to introduce the viewer to multiple perspectives of the whole.
