The work features an abstract, aerodynamic form with sharp, thorn-like protrusions in polished cast bronze—which gives it its characteristic gold-toned, reflective surface. This design is characteristic of Adams' later style, which often explored tension through jagged, linear compositions. As a prominent British sculptor, Adams was associated with the postwar "Geometry of Fear" group, known for his abstract, industrial-influenced work. This specific piece was produced in a limited edition in Adams’ studio in Great Maplestead, Essex. Signed with the artist's initial "A", the sculpture’s markings additionally indicate the specific cast number as 2/6.
