“The Waco series honors a transformational time in my life. I moved into a home on Waco street in Wichita, Kansas, eventually living there 21 years. It was during that time I discovered I was an artist and began to establish and build my business and reputation. The sculpture is constructed of a variety of unique steel shapes that are welded together. Various finishing techniques, including powder coating complete the desired finish on the sculpture. The blown glass satellite was created in my studio in Kechi, Kansas. Waco Tool is fun and whimsical. Vertical willow rods & the large ring provide the structure. Ribbons, discs, tools & a colorful glass satellite complete the sculpture.” Rollin Karg
