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.
