About This Piece
Convergence is a diaphanous funnel-shaped steel sculpture composed of 1,344 laser-cut human profiles. There are twelve jurors on a typical jury, and the silhouettes are multiples of twelve Denver citizens representing a variety of ages and ethnicities. Viewed from the ground floor entry looking up, one is immersed in an optical vortex as the ascending silhouettes converge and overlap.
