Description

Bronze, cast in sections, mounted on a bronze base. Two rectangular slabs of cast and welded bronze, each pierced by a roughly circular aperture off centre, are stood on their edges at a distance, and two more are placed on top of them at right angles. The interior surfaces of the holes is more smoothly finished than the sides of the sculpture which has acquired a patchy green patina
