Descriptive Note
Text: An assemblage of nine similarly-shaped
elements that are to be arranged casually on the floor
and against the wall. This work was a rebellion against
the harsh geometry of Minimalism. The work is characterized
by a flexible, fluid material and smooth, rounded-almost
anatomical or botanical, yet architectural-forms.
