Looking Up by Tom Friedman
“Looking Up” was created by artist Tom Friedman, who hails from St. Louis. The piece is 33 feet-tall and made of stainless steel. Friedman’s work involves the use of crushed aluminum foil, and other distorted and distressed metal objects, which are used as part of a molding and lost wax casting technique.
