Description

'Dal Fabro's Chariot' is an imagined conveyance. It appears to be a carefully engineered vehicle, but it does not work. The vertical member swivels on its axis, but the wheel does not roll. Dal Fabro was an Italian furniture designer, who made multi-functional furniture. This sculpture is made in the spirit of Dal Fabro and poses many questions for the viewer, but provides few answers.
