System of though, is this geometric or organic? it follows the processes of very geometric/industrial, but at the same time the circular forms almost create flower patterns, making it more organic in nature.

"Wire, painted cardboard and welded metal 93 x 32 x 36 (2360 x 815 x 915)" (Tate, n.d).

"wire and cardboard construction supported on a firm, tripod base made from iron. The eleven cardboard planar elements were cut from circular shapes and thus all, more or less, conform to a similar design." (Tate, n.d).

"straight wires used in the structure and these are all individually related to one of the seven wire wheels that dominate the sculpture." (Tate, n.d).
