Artwork Description

Todd Hoyer uses rings in his work to "represent life's paths." He gouges scallops into the form, then burns and blackens the edges and interior. Ringed Series has a large crack down the side, splitting apart the rings and giving the piece an incomplete and fractured appearance.
