After being a jeweler for many years, Antje Roitzsch was fascinated by the idea of building a life size sculpture, that one could not only touch, but walk around or even crawl through. Uprising, a flame like shape invites us to not only take in the beauty of its from, but also to see through it, in its relationship to the surroundings.

Uprising is created out of bent and welded steel pipe which naturally developed its rust patina.

Installation note:
Shown is the installation view. The piece has a 6" deep cross substructure seeing in the detail shot, that easily can be set into the ground and anchor the piece. To make lawn mowing easier, a layer of crushed stone can be installed.
It can be transported and tied down in a pick up truck and easily moved in and out with 2 people.
