Description

Physical Description:

In east court between Alumni Memorial Hall and the Frankel Family Wing of the Museum of Art Part of the collections of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. 

Made of thick steel, this sculpture has two very distinct halves. One on side, the thick sheet of steel gracefully curves around and back on itself, making loops and rounded edges. On the reverse, the steel is angular, jagged, and sharp, jutting into the spaces in the sculpture's interior and the space around the whole. At the very center of the piece, along the implied dividing line between the two sides, is a relatively small box.
