What exactly is it supposed to be really? Reminds me of a dryer vent

I have no idea. I've always called it the butthole donut.

I’ve actually been thinking about setting up an online shop to sell prints and other wall art, nice to know other people think some of my work is deserving of printing. I usually photograph people so I’m a little unsure of my landscape work as it’s less familiar for me

I’m really trying to work out with this is, I assume it’s a gear that’s turning into something else to show providence’s emergence from a mill town to a more modern up and coming town but I can’t figure out what the hell it’s turning into

>“Textured Gear” is the creation of Rob Lorenson, an artist and educator based in Fall River, Massachusetts. His studio is housed in a massive warehouse, sharing space with Concentric Fabrications, a custom metal company that Lorenson co-owns. Since settling in Massachusetts in 1999, Lorenson has crafted hundreds of large, stainless steel sculptures, most of them incorporating circular shapes.

>Metal itself is so durable and enduring, says Lorenson. And the circle is a special shape in nature – the sun, the moon, the center of a flower, the iris – so it seemed like a natural shape to utilize in a sculpture.

>Lorenson grew up in Chicago and speaks with an affable Midwestern accent, but he’s also eloquent about his work, having taught fine art at Bridgewater State University for nearly two decades. As for Textured Gear, Lorenson didn’t create the sculpture for any particular place, but Providence feels like the right spot.

>The piece was conceived before I had any idea where it was going, he recalls. But now it sort of reflects its original intent, with the industrial skyline behind it. It’s a little bit like the history of Providence.

Don’t stick your dick in that. You don’t know where it’s been

Great shot of the Industrial National Bank building.

(It's got nothing to do with Superman, and most people who call it that don't even know why. It needs to stop.)

It's a nickname, I don't think the building minds
