My Sculpture Combining Oak and Stainless Steel

The author describes her sculpture made from oak and steel. After briefly pointing out some of the developments in 20th-century visual art, she discusses the visual characteristics of oak and of polished stainless steel bars and how she utilizes them. She feels that her use of these materials that have apparently incompatible characteristics has resulted in their enhancement and provided her sculptures with a variety of contrasting artistic qualities. She concludes the article with a brief sketch of personal experiences pertinent to her recent work.
