Visual Description
Spanning about 16 feet in length and rising to about 3.5 ft, this aluminum-and-paint sculpture is a pale, off-white, open-frame structure built from repeated square modules. The piece's rectangular areas are defined by a grid of thin, evenly spaced metal struts, creating transparent volumes with no solid areas. Along its length, the configuration alternates between larger, cube-like enclosures and narrower, lower sections, producing stepped areas of various heights and widths. Several portions form U- and L-shaped perimeters, with interior voids; other segments project outward, ending in smaller cubic clusters. There is a uniform paint finish, and the latticework produces layered squares and shadows that shift from openness at the ends to thicker grid intersections in the larger central masses.
