This is one of my very early metal sculptures. This is one of the pieces that made me realize how much I liked making art from metal. I basically made a small, fast "sketch" of a city, just as a study. I was amazed how quickly the small chunks of bar stock, found in the scrap bin under the saw, became "buildings" and then downtown Chicago. After this one I made two more similar pieces that were longer and had more "buildings", but this one stands out because how quickly it went together and gained life.
Cities and buildings are interesting subject matter because of their relationship and interaction with man kind. I have just recently finished a DVD tower for my house that looks like a mini skyscraper. Maybe I will post a photo of it later.
