Description: Wind and Water is a free-standing sculpture that consists of 1 inch stainless steel tubing, formed in long strands and welded together to create an abstract representation of wind and water. Approximately 100 individual stainless steel tubes make up the sculpture, with lengths between 10 and 14 feet.
Artist Statement: To contain fire, one must understand the other classical elements of earth: wind and water. The earth acts as fuel, wind encourages it to spread, while water is the suppressor. This piece is a representation of these natural elements, diametrically opposed in their relationship to fire.
