That's very pretty actually...what an awesome use for the material and the effect the material makes huh? I thought it was a tire at first.

p.s. I think it's a crime that ficus tree is anywhere near the sculpture though...oh my god, move the plant away!

I agree the Gothic treads were cool but it was the foam that made it all insanely wonderful. (it's one of those pieces where as an artist I marvel over how another artist ended up with that)

I saw that show- that tire was one of my favorites.

I always assumed they were machined (somehow with some machine thing they use to make gothic tire treads) but I was talking to Kristiina last night at the KWAG opening and she told me it was all hand cut. She made a long pattern based on the existing decoration at Hart house and started carving.
