Untitled, 1968Stainless steel wire47” x 47”___
Visual Description
Bundles of stainless steel wires are bent and tied to form a six-pointed star in the center of this sculpture. As each of the six bundles are divided into two or more bundles, they are tied with short pieces of wire. The new bundles are divided and tied until there are only five wires left in each of the last bundles on the outermost edge of the sculpture. The last bundles open up to form a light and airy feeling like the open ends on dandelion seeds.Further images
