The cool thing about sculpture is that it is 3D. The artist wants you to walk around his sculptures to see everyday shapes and forms in a new, unique way. What shapes do you see when you look at this sculpture?
Rosburg was born in Sioux City, Iowa in 1957. He now lives and works in South Florida. This sculpture is named Harlan. He named it after Harlan, Iowa, where his mother grew up.
