DescriptionThe sculpture is orange, in the basic form of a very large tent. Three parallel steel girders thrust upward at about 75 degrees; at the top they meet a horizontal rectangular steel plate. This steel plate is propped up from the other side by two girders, also at about 75 degree angles; at the bottom they meet another horizontal rectangular steel plate.Copyright© Estate Dale Eldred
