DescriptionAbstract, floor-based sculpture composed of circular sections of red cedar, connected by strip sections of pine. Similar in shape to an old-fashioned ear trumpet or the horn of a gramaphone, one end opens to reveal a hollow interior, while the other end narrows and twists, like a tail, back toward the form.Copyright© Martin Puryear
