About This Piece
The sculpture Tail Spin was created and reinstalled at the new Colorado Convention Center. Tail Spin is a free hanging suspended steel and fiberglass structure located on the northeast side of the Colorado Convention Center’s entrance. The mild steel sculpture was welded and fabricated as five individual units, with fiberglass sails/ or shovel forms. The surface of the sculptures are metallic black with acrylic enamel with varied color coats of clear pearl essence (on the larger sail forms) and finally clear-coated.
