This hanging sculpture by Richard Hunt depicts what appears to be a form with legs crawling outwards from a steel frame, leaving the confines of the wall in order to infiltrate the space of the viewer. The work belongs to Hunt’s small series of “Wall Pieces” that date to the late 1980s. Like all of the works in this series, this sculpture utilizes a rectangular steel frame as a support for a naturalistic, abstract composition in welded steel. The lyrical elements of the sculpture, in this case the extended form, extend forward like a three-dimensional drawing in space. Utilizing a steel infrastructure as a support for a biomorphic abstract composition, this series embodies Hunt’s inclination to marry elements of the natural world with elements of the built world. Simultaneously, this series of works represents a radical departure for Hunt, as it takes him into a realm of experimentation that creates completely surprising moments of innovation and strangeness. This series, and each of the works that belong to it, are completely distinctive within Hunt’s oeuvre.
