With a vigorously textured and engraved bronze base and a thick 3/4 inch glass top.

This piece is the product of an innovative technique Evans developed to create massive works of interlocking bronze slabs that remained light enough to juxtapose like Jenga blocks.

Signed “PE” and dated “74”. Paul Evans (1931–1987)
