Description
A seam between two sheets of brass causes the lines and shapes of this abstract reflection to shift; the resulting refraction interrupts and adds interest to the flow of the design. The wavy stripes in the warm toned, shiny abstraction are created by light passing between the slats in a Venetian blind on an office building window, and the metal is wrapped around a curved, free-standing elevator shaft. The building is the Old Omaha Public library, designed in 1891.
I have five similar images in my Design Elements and Abstracts gallery; they can be hung separately or grouped to make a real statement in a larger space. I put three of them together in a single-image triptych which can also be seen there.
