This piece utilizes wood wall sculpture to create an extruded, 3D effect. The image shows a great spire, tapering into a bleak sky, with a ruddy sheen and glimmers of light reflecting here and there. This very tall piece is strangely evocative of skyscrapers like the Empire State, yet on the surface represents a more geographical feature. Rising up proudly from the ground, yet also appearing worn and cracked, this is a monument to time and aging.
