This piece is a fantasy proposal for a public works project. I would love to see pylons or cell towers embraced and turned into utilitarian sculptures. William Morris—one of my all time top favorite guys—spoke about the necessity of the craftsman to love their work. To take the joy and ownership of building something that might otherwise be manufactured generically.The piece contains straight-lines and technical focus coupled with your beautifully organic patterns. Was that a conscious choice?A lot of my work is based on the contrasting styles of ornament. The elements here are mostly from wrought iron gates or gothic architecture which seem like a good fit for transmission towers.Click here to learn more about the artist.
