- Physical Description:
- 76 x 60 x 5 in (width)
- Date Depicted:

- Materials:
- bronze
- Notes:
- Tautly suspended from two cables, this slender bronze form hangs rigidly just off the ground. The form's vertical orientation and outstretched "arms" suggest a human figure. Peter Shelton often titles his work with letters that run together without spaces or upper case distinctions. This technique encourages the viewer to consider words and letters in new ways.
