Artist Rob Lorenson, Ben Silva Artist ASSistant- Stainless Steel, 16' Diameter, Sarasota FL
Juxtaposing industrial and natural media, celebrating a dichotomy of geometric and organic, order and chaos. The crystalline tendency of nature, that same energy which constructs the atom and controls the orbits of the stars. Inspiring meditation on this universality within the sublime paradox, tightrope walking the thin line between the comic and the cosmic.
