JUANJO NOVELLA (SPANISH)
Steel
Bob L. Herd Department of Petroleum Engineering
The organic forms of this sculpture were cut out of one-inch
thick steel; the deliberately amorphous forms allow viewers
the opportunity to interpret the sculpture based on their own
experiences and frame of reference. For some, the sculpture
may recall swirling water, strata of the earth, oil flowing through
pipes, or other organic motifs. Novella is an internationally
successful artist, with completed works in Europe, Asia, and
New Zealand; this is his first commission in the United States.
