2016 Walking Sculpture Tour
Your Canopy
Artist Statement:
Natural materials and mechanical components oppose visual elements that contract and complement each other in a way that requires a delicate balance. Your Canopy combines several cast aluminum structural elements with a welded steel canopy to create a tree-like sculpture.
