Inspired by the modular geometric forms of mid-century design, the client was looking for five distinct compositions created from the same materials. Our artists went to work on creating the puzzle, starting with the building blocks and then creating a map for each iteration of the work, with the added benefit that the client could reconfigure the composition in the future.

Inspired by the elongated figures by Giacometti, our artists were tasked to make a human-sized sculpture that would appear to be cast in bronze. The piece was sculpted in clay, which was then used to create a mold. The final statue was cast from resin, and then finished to look like dark bronze. The result looked like an original commissioned fine art sculpture.
