An abstract sculpture which originates from a cylindrical footing which is seated upon a concrete cylindrical base. Two separate forms emerge from the footing. One starts at the proper right, the other starts at the proper left. The two forms ascend upward, leaning in toward one another forming a triangular shape until they cross each other. The forms widen as they ascend away from each other. Then they bend and begin heading toward eachother until they cross one another near the top of the sculpture. The two ends form an X at the top. The sculpture is held in place with supersonic epoxy and 4 stainless steel pins which reach one foot into the piece.
