Description:

"Charlotte B." is a 20'h x 20'w piece composed of two overlapping triangular aluminum shapes: one flush with the side wall to the building's entrance and a door to the fire control room; and the other two inches from the wall. Each panel was polished and hand-etched. A galvanized steel pole, inches off the surface of the triangle flush with the wall, extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling of the entryway. Rowley named the work in memory of his mother, Charlotte (who called herself "B" after the initial of her maiden name).
