Matching Wall Sconce
Details on the walls to either side of the front door echoed the design of the sculpture. The details were wall sconces that lit at night.

Metal As If Ribbons
Steel strips were bent and formed to appear as if made from fabric ribbon. Volute sculpture had just that delicate feel to it.

Lines Remained After Bending
Horizontal lines remained on the surface of several of the pieces. Those lines were the result of the bending process that was used to create these smooth bends.
