Untitled stands sixteen feet tall on a series of geometric shapes. Constructed of steel, it was originally black, and has been weathered red by time. Untitled was created in 2001 by Cary Chapman, then a senior sculpture student at the Herron School of Art and Design, for an exhibition coordinated by the IUPUI Campus Art Committee. The choice not to name a work of art is an invitation for the reader to encounter it more fully on their own terms. After a deep engagement with the piece, is there a name you would imagine giving it?
