About the Item
'Iron Altar' is a freestanding abstract sculpture from the Thought-Particle series, designed as a "thought filter" to enhance the artistic process. Crafted and precisely cut from steel, this piece embodies a blend of raw materiality and conceptual depth. Recently exhibited at the De Young Museum in San Francisco, 'Iron Altar invites' viewers to engage with the flow of ideas, serving as both a contemplative object and a source of inspiration. Its robust form makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor display, where it can interact with different environments and provoke thoughtful introspection.
