Slatted Sculpture

Part of a series of sculptures that are created from a simple system of repeatable components, bolted together to form a wide variety of complex forms. Some are made of painted steel, and some are made of painted wood. In all cases, one radius was used to form the basic components of a half circle support frame, and/or a quarter circle support frame. All of the support frames were clad with slats with the same spacing between each, as they were applied to the curved frames. The support frames and slats were then bolted together in various combinations in order to form the final sculptures.
