John Henry

Phantom, #90-15

1990

"Phantom, #90-15" is a work of machined aluminum that exemplifies minimalist abstraction through precision industrial processes.

By utilizing aluminum and industrial fabrication techniques, the artist transforms utilitarian materials into refined sculptural objects that challenge distinctions between art and manufacture.
