Athena Tacha
Leaning Arches, 1984
Cor-Ten steel, painted
Douglas Road Station
SW 37th Avenue and South Dixie Highway

Leaning Arches was created from four sheets of Cor-Ten Steel which were cut and then pulled apart with great force to form a series of pointed arches connected alternately at the top and bottom. To further enhance the forces of rhythm and tension by which the arches were formed, the piece is painted a deep purple on one side and a persimmon orange on the other.
