End Piece

1974
Corten steel, Swedish granite
When the granite is extracted from its quarried block for use in carving, the uncertain residue is removed to leave the sure core. Such an end piece of Swedish black is here carved and polished. Support slats of Cor-ten steel are at a calculated angle to each other for stability.
