Description: 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.
