In Two Cones (2025), American artist Douglas Rieger continues his exploration of materiality and form through a dialogue between craftsmanship and abstraction. The sculpture brings together hammered aluminum, wood, and industrial components to create a structure that feels both mechanical and animate.

Rieger’s interest in shaping sheet metal—first approached through traditional hand tools such as hammers and mallets, later refined with forming equipment like the English wheel—finds here a distilled expression. The work captures the moment when a form begins to emerge, poised on the threshold between becoming and being.

Two Cones evokes an object in transition: part creature, part machine, tentatively extending itself into space. The result is a sculpture that feels at once grounded and in motion, suggesting a nascent vitality within the industrial materials that compose it.

在《两个尖椎》（2025）中，美国艺术家道格拉斯·莱杰延续了他长期以来对工艺和抽象的专注，探索材料与形式的关系。作品结合锤纹铝材、木材和工业零件，塑造了一个兼具机械感和生命力的结构。

莱杰对金属板成形的兴趣由来已久，在这件作品中格外凸显。起初是通过锤子和木槌等传统手工工具，后期则运用了英轮（English wheel）等设备进行更复杂的塑形。作品捕捉了这样一个瞬间：形体在生成与成形之间的临界点上浮现。

《两个尖椎》唤起了变幻中的物体，半是生物，半是机器，试探性地向空间中伸展，既稳定又充满动感，在工业材料中孕育出一种原始的生命力。
