Friend of Mine
Andrew Hamilton Reiss
Listen to the audio track description.
Friend of Mine is a contemporary composition of a stylized Monarch Butterfly feeding on the milkweed flower. This elegant composition is defined through a distinct line gesture made of formed steel rod. The sophisticated sculpture provides many interesting vantages of the surrounding landscape. The gesture and composition invite the viewer to interact with the art and experience it in-the-round.
