Description

This sculpture is composed of numerous flat planes, in a pale shiny silver tone, attached to each other on two or three sides with hinges. The pieces, which are trapezoids can be moved in different directions to create different forms which the artist termed "animals " or "beasts." Clark encouraged viewer participation allowing the viewer to change the shape of the sculpture as the parts are moved around.
