Azimuth

This sculpture is an exploration into negative space and three dimensional drawing. It plays with the material properties of steel in terms of balance and gravity. The steel can be seen to be enveloping three spheres.

Azimuth is derived from the  Arabic السمت as‑samt, meaning “a way, a part, or quarter” and is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system.
