DescriptionA tall ceramic sculpture composed of stacked geometric forms. The stack alternates between multi-sided irregular polyhedrons in shades of yellow, red, and black and gray cubes painted with curved yellow, orange, and red arrows. The form on top of the stack resembles a backwards "5", with the bottom curve continuing into the curve of the arrow on the gray cube below. The other two polyhedrons are cubes painted with geometric forms that protrude from the sides as three-dimensional elements and wrap around the gray cubes as borders.
