[[translate(episode,'audioCredit') || translate(episode,'credit')]]This abstract sculpture by Kelly is part of his “rocker” series of sculptures, which was conceived when Kelly took a plastic coffee cup lid from his local deli, cut out a flat section, folded it in half, and rocked it back and forth on a table. *Untitled* also plays with depth and dimension, as the rounded edge of the ellipse contrasts with the extreme flatness of the sculpture’s surface.
