Hammerhead with steel spheres
Steel sculpture: hammerhead with spheres 10x5x2cm May 2025
A sculpture composed of the head of a cross pein hammer with two steel spheres attached to its sides.
Hammerheads standing on end have an interesting anthropomorphic quality to them. This anthropomorphism is exploited in this work to create an ambiguous form.
The work possibly suggests a human figure with spheres in the place of arms. Or it could suggest the head of a creature such as an insect with the spheres as huge eyes.
The steel spheres are attached to the hammerhead by magnets.
