| There are three elements: Two triangles constructed from eight-inch diameter tube and a cross-pipe constructed of the same. One triangle is eighteen feet tall and thirteen feet wide; the other is fifteen feet tall and ten feet wide. The triangles are placed ninety degrees to the ground and at a different axis to each other. The horizontal pipe is eighteen feet long and is graphite colored, capped on either end with stainless steel. Ojibway syllabics is welded in stainless steel along the sides of that pipe. The script was chosen mainly for the geometric graphic relationship the syllabics has with the sculptural form. The writing on one side of the pipe means inspired interaction and on the other side of the pipe, translates to sharing of knowledge. The horizontal pipe is suspended parallel and about ten feet from the ground, and traverses both triangles. It visually connects the two triangles allowing the individual elements to become more than the sum of its parts. |
