Two sculptures I'm currently working on, in addition to a recent sculpture, titled Boris Wheel, incorporate a reaching arm with an attached wheel. These sculptures all reflect a reference to the sculpture made by my sculptor friend, Margaret Michel, who now works in France. Above is pictured a sculpture by Margaret Michel.
