Tom Brewitz begins the sculpture design process by sketching his ideas. He then utilizes software tools to develop technical CADD drawings.

Fabricating the sculpture requires plasma cutter to cut the stainless steel to exact computer drawing dimensions. Once the sculpture is cleaned, polished and assembled, the elements are balanced by strategically removing steel.

The technique allows the artist to precisely balance the work while the brushed finish is applied. The task is a tricky proposition at best.

The top left photo was snapped as the sculpture was alive with motion. The next photo shows how the work aligns itself at rest. The bottom image is the drawing used to fabricate the angular motion elements of the piece.
