Solid steel rods coated in brilliant brass rise out of a soapstone base and reach upward in this stunning table-top sculpture by Canadian artist, Tonya Hart. Hart creates work that is inspired by forces of nature—light, energy and magnetism.A large outdoor version of this piece is also available.
“As a sculptor, I am drawn to the visual animations of fluid dynamics and magnetism that explore the underlying structure of the universe. Fluid dynamics is the study of the mechanics of flow in liquid, gas and air; while magnetism is the dominant force structuring movement.” Tonya Hart
She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors in 1998 as a Visual Arts Major at York University in Toronto. In 2006 she attended George Brown College.
