The piece is formed from a cluster of highly reflective silvered spheres, symmetrically arranged around a central axis. Their mirror-like surfaces create a dynamic visual effect, capturing and distorting their surroundings while emphasising the work’s geometric precision. The spheres appear to hover around a central brass stem, which rises from a gently flared base and provides a rich tonal contrast to the cool chrome finish above.

The interplay between the lustrous chrome and the aged brass lends the sculpture both glamour and weight, evoking the Space Age aesthetic and sculptural experimentation of the late 20th century. The reflective surfaces enhance its presence, allowing it to interact visually with its environment.

Signed by the artist, this is a confident and decorative statement piece. See less
