The Killing of a Society: King

Description

Several steel rods are assembled into a tall structure. The rod at the top of the structure is bent, creating a circular hook. Thin metal plates are attached to the rod using hooks and springs, linked in a chain. Just over halfway down the sculpture is horizontally intersected by another steel rod. The central structure then separates into three supporting rods. All metal pieces utilized in the artwork are heavily oxidized.
