Although the card that came with this work indicates that it is made of copper on steel, I somehow get the idea that wire coat hangers were dismantled and used as the basis for the work. The wires are soldered to each other where they meet. The shape of this work very much reminds me of the shape of the island of Oahu, in Hawai'i, where I lived once upon a time and where my sister Lee was born.
