  • "Axial Incidence" is an amorphous cast acrylic sculpture resembling a monumental piece of free-formed fine crystal or a crystallized piece of crumpled paper.  The edges of the sculpture are rounded, and while the work has a smooth radiance to its surface, there is also a richness of depth conveyed by the abstract mass of the form.
