DescriptionA steel sculpture painted green composed of geometric forms. A central oval form with a pitted texture and a flat top, resembling a surfboard, is upright in the center of the sculpture. To the left is a tall, thin zig-zag form. Attached to the back of the oval and visible to the right are three forms resembling twisted combs of varying sizes. The oval and zig-zag are mounted to a rectangular prism which rests horizontally on the floor. A curved form is on the floor behind the first, with the two forms joined by an arch. A tall rectangular prism, protruding from the center of the horizontal curved form, bends forward to meet the top of the oval.
