'Folded Circle Ring' dates from 1989 and is part of an important series of Cor-Ten steel pieces that explore and balance geometric proportions. This large-scale work is a juxtaposition of a simple open circle with a solid disc that is folded and angled, composed to examine the proportions, divisions, and relationship between the two shapes. The work achieves a bold, aesthetic impact through clean, simple, economic forms reinforced by its large size.
