Airspaces

My new piece, Airspaces, stands approximately 16 feet or 5 meters tall and is constructed from aluminum paraboloids of revolution.

The photograph immediately below shows Tong Bird Mobile in the foreground, with the new piece Airspaces in our test field. There remain some issues of metal surfacing and wind loading.

When installed at the museum sculpture garden, the 2 aluminum fins of Airspaces will go directly into the grass and the I-beam support structure (seen in the very top picture above) will be buried in the earth. Below, is a photoshopped grass-surround at the base of the piece.
