Sometimes the titles of artwork give us clues as to their meaning. Do any of the shapes remind you of Roman architecture? The concrete resembles an arch. Some of the steel also looks like ancient architecture. The additional steel elements seem to suspend the Roman elements in space as if they are holding up a memory of an ancient space in time.

Quoted from indplsartcenter.org/Assets/uploads/Artspark-brochure-2012.pdf

The portion of the title “Newhall 43” refers to the artist’s 43rd project at his Newhall Studio in Milwaukee.  The piece was purchased and donated to the IAC around 1987-8 time period.
