This piece demonstrates Engman’s signature technique of warping flat geometric forms and combining them into one sculpture. He began his sculpting process with simple shapes made of metal—in this case, two squares and a circle— and would then use a hammer to create the warped effect. He specialized in rendering basic shapes dynamic and tactile, so a different interpretation can be gathered from every angle.
