He began cutting and installing industrial felt in various configurations, ranging from rolled or tangled heaps on the floor to neatly folded geometric patterns hung on a wall. In Untitled the perpetual pull of gravity is an evident and integral part of the work, creating an elegant balance between the weight of the fabric and its overall structur [A work made of felt with metal grommets.]
