This piece is based on my spiral series, a series where I have continually explored the spiral form throughout my career. The client wanted two diferent styles of smaller spirals and one 8' helix. The helix needed to be designed so the top was solid and the rest was open work. The piece hangs two stories up, in a vaulted ceiling, and casts shadows which move when the piece moves in ventilated air.
