About the Art:
The featured sculpture was originally displayed in 2009 at the Diane Hughes Gallery, Charlotte, N.C. The piece is constructed of steel and made using a specialized bent metal process. The painting of the metal transforms the work into a silhouette. The work is meant to defy scale and dimension and encourages observer exploration, providing a personalized perspective when viewing the work through various vantage points.
