Family Value III. - first acrylic-steel scupture

After my initial design was executed as a Silver Necklace, and there was such favorable response to the concept, Evelyn urged me to use this idea in a larger format.
The challenge: How to metamorphose a single-lined 2-dimensional drawing to a 3D sculpture?
Using non-transparent, galvanized metal sheets for the in-line and out-line form, cutting along the given line with a small 1/10" chisel - more than 8,000 hammer strokes - installing and fixing the two metal pieces on two transparent, bronze colored acrylic sheets which are mounted in to two layers. The upper acrylic sheet is lightly arced to give more volume effect to the viewer.
