"Icosaspirale"
sculpture in the Five Embarcadero
privately-owned public park.

A side view of the sculpture, side-lit by
the afternoon sun. That the artist wanted to evoke
a feeling of bone was clear in this view.
The bronze statue was bolted to a concrete riser.

This detail of the base shows a capping nut on a locating
threaded stud (right) and two mechanical hold-down bolts. The texture of the
surface of the sculpture is also visible.
