Frank Eiseman

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a mechanical assembly with multiple levers or wheels extending from a central axis, resembling a simplified wooden machine. It is primarily made of wood, showcasing a natural brown color with visible grain and texture. The intricate arrangement of rods and a central block creates an abstract or minimalist tool-like appearance. The sculpture is anchored above a wooden stool with three legs, enhancing its industrial yet rustic feel. The design emphasizes geometric shapes and lines, suggesting potential movement or mechanical interaction within the static form.
