Label TextStan Smokler explains that he is “always searching for new ways to invent and organize space.” Created from found steel, this sculpture shows the artist’s interest in line and abstract forms. Circle of Lines represents one trend in contemporary sculpture that melds a conceptual approach to materials and process with the legacy of modernist sculpture.
