Description
Time Flow is a cast and welded bronze sculpture with steel tools embedded in the bronze. It expresses the fluidity of metal and incorporates the tools used for metalworking. The artist began with a rough sketch and experimented with pouring out molten bronze. Later, he welded the cooled bronze to a steel frame. The fusion of metals through fire connects the work to the history of the building, which was originally a blacksmith’s shop.
