A Leisure Walk On Thursday

Today, I decided to take a walk to Lee Gallery after my last class to see what art was in it. On my way there I passed a massive piece that has always intrigued me. It is so amazing that I will just add a few pictures before I say anything else about it.

When I took this picture I stood inside/underneath the piece. I just thought it was really interesting how it looked. I kind of thought, after looking at the picture, that if you looks it the middle, it looks a bit like stairs that you would walk up. So I interpreted it as if the stairs were coming from the sky down towards me.

This art above is a form of structural engineering art. This type of art is usually created from iron and produced by welding the pieces together. Structural engineering art is usually larger than many other pieces of art. It is larger because when it is not only created to be visually appealing, it is also created to be used for practicle purposes. Structural engineering art can be created for the purpose of building bridges. This type of art is all over the world, but the more common art structures are in France. By having this piece of structural art on campus brings some of the French culture to Clemson.
