"Homage Louise Nevelson"

This is the sole surviving piece I did about 25 years ago from the styrofoam packing pieces which have been commonly used for shipping electronics and other products. I loved the variety of the shapes and the lightness of the styrofoam and started gluing them together. I got the inspiration from my love of Ms. Nevelson's work at that time with found objects which she often made room sized sculpture.

Perhaps it's time to let this "trash" sculpture go too, or maybe I will reglue the pieces and paint it stark white.
