DescriptionMaroon in color and bulbous in form. The organically shaped form, which is created by molten plastic extruded from the machine, is layered/stacked and fluid.Massive and bulbous, this giant mound flows in two directions to create, almost miraculously, a bridge. The left and right arms are firmly grounded, while the center is open. The urge to peek through that opening or to metaphorically pass through it is compelling. What computer program allowed this singular event to happen!
