The current work — The Matter of Time — installed permanently at the Museum, is the artist's most complete rumination on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture.

The artist used traditional geometric forms and models combined with new technologies to produce unconventional shapes. The shades of color of the works change as the weathering steel undergoes a gradual oxidization process. The relationship between sculpture and the human body is explored through scale, equilibrium, weight, and tension.
