Additional Details

Peter Chinni was introduced to a technique of assembling sculptural forms using sheets of wax while living in Rome. This method, then cast in the lost-wax process, has the look and feel of a welded steel sculpture that was a popular process of many of his peers, and is the process implemented in this example.
