‘Nude descending a spiral staircase’ becomes “Hannah”
Thank you Hannah for posing for this piece.

 

“Nude descending a spiral stair” started as an evolution from all the earlier pieces with the primary goals being that I want to emphasize the 3 dimensional characteristics by moving beyond the “flat” (wall mounted) 3 dimensionality and have elements present off the horizontal wall.  Also, because the construction and assembly is important to me, and I think interesting in itself, I wanted this work (the back) to be viewable.  Hence, a floor mounted piece that the viewer can see from multiple perspectives.
