Simms served in the US Navy from 1957-59, and after a full career as a product designer turned to creating sculpture. This sculpture is made of aircraft aluminum and measures 9’ w x 9’ d x 12’ h. It pivots on one point in accordance with the prevailing wind speed, and the surface is polished and cut to reflect light. According to Simms he “love[s] transforming heavy metal plate into organic configurations emanating vital strength… There is so much more to the piece than its structure. Much of the beauty is in the shadows cast and the changing organic negative spaces.”
