The metal beak of Sroka, 1992, juts at you like the ramming prow of an ancient galley, while the big blade of steel that splits the body of Winged Trunk, 1989, could be read either as a weapon that has given the body its deathblow or as a protective shield. Sometimes the metal fittings read as shells...
