WIND built on a screw conveyor image with teeth added. Its base is a bent I-beam section, meant to convey power.
WATER a screw conveyor section vertically configured to show plunging water. The circles are lily pads.
EARTH a simple disk from the front, but a more complex object from the back side. It rests on the shoulders of Hercules who holds up the heavenly spheres.
FIRE a special burnt blue and purple patina added through heating and blowing hot gases.
Photographic study from 2014 - 2019
