I initially started this piece with a vague idea of what I aiming for in regards of the overall aesthetics of the piece. I ended with a piece that relied heavily on my intuition and reflected an ongoing mood for the year. The piece was me aiming to give lightning, a thing of pure energy, mass. While viewers can pull my initial inspiration from the piece, they have also drawn their own conclusions for what the piece reminded them of including views, rooms, branches, and central nervous system.

Inspiration/Research
Born in 1931, Arlie Regier grew up on a farm near Burrton, KS. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 83.
He had received his masters in Industrial Education from Colorado State University after he spent time studying Sculpture Design under renowned sculpture Richard Stankiewicz.
His work was pulled from his fascination with technology combined with his concerns with world events. Many of his pieces are abstractions of circuit boards, cityscapes, and sustainable agriculture that utilized stainless steel polished down to a mirror-like finish pulled exclusively from scrapyards and assembled into flowing forms.
He has work in collections belonging to Warner Bros, H&R Block, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and more.
