About the Item

This sculpture consists of hundreds of bent-laminated D-shaped pieces glued to a plywood substrate. The piece is hung using a series of aluminum z-clips. The sculpture come apart into four sections. The piece is 4" deep so it complies with commercial building regulations. T-bird's composition was inspired the maze like patterns I was using in my other work. Using bent lamination process, I made around 1200 individual parts that I attached to a plywood backer. The painting was inspired by an amazing day turned to evening with a good-time friend out on the water. I like how you see through the sculpture to the painting, as if the sculpture was a window outward.
