Number 5

Bill Wentworth

Stainless Steel & Bronze | $2,500 ​

Artist Statement

Generally, as with this piece, my work reflects the relationship of modern industrial technology and nature, but takes it a step beyond. The abstraction of “Number 5” suggests what might happen if nature took back control of some of what is done by man. What would it look like if bronze and stainless steel grew out of the ground like a plant?
