Translation, Steel, 60" x 24" x 18".
A length of square steel is simultaneously bent and twist. Tines define the movement and take on volume.

Imposition, Steel and Cast Foam, 60" x 18" x 12"
A twisted steel bar with a short section of chain rests weightily on a distorted cast of my head. Form and idea intersect with crushing force, pushing back and defining each other.

Core Movement, 30" x 36" x 18", Steel
Square stock was bent around a form, then pulled apart and twist. Tines define the movement and take on volume.
 
Classification, Forged Steel, 24" x 12" x 8".
A piece of square steel stock was hammered into round stock. A piece of round stock was hammered into square stock. A third cylindrical piece was hammered at the ends causing a slight flare. All three piece started as something geometrically obvious, and through slight modification have become something difficult to classify.
