These works are not intended as replicas, but as study-driven objects—developed to better understand and engage with the principles underlying the Bertoia approach to sound sculpture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11 stems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: Stainless steel stems with a corten steel base\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 40”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sculpture includes a resonation box stand (the pedestal shown in videos is not included). The resonation box enhances the lower frequencies of the instrument and is recommended for optimal sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe base is made from unfinished corten steel and is designed to naturally develop a rusted patina over time. This makes the sculpture well-suited for outdoor environments. If displayed indoors, it is recommended to keep the piece on its wood base, as the natural rusting process may leave marks on surfaces beneath it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA very limited number of pieces from this study are being made available.
