Karl Ehlers – Interconnected

Ehlers has taken several rectangular steel pieces and bent them into a U-shape, interconnecting them so that the resulting space resembles an animal’s body. One of the many possible associations is with a giraffe – the description most often heard since the monumental sculpture was placed in front of the zoo. It’s possible to see either organically shaped lines or a particular, individual character. The sculpture shapes the idea of “growth” as the separation and collection of forces.
