Mark Di SuveroMark Di Suvero uses industrial materials, including I-beams, to create sculptures that invite viewer interaction. Constructed with heavy equipment, his sculptures are open structures whose diagonal lines make them dynamic, even gestural. Di Suvero seeks to make space come alive, and describes his work as “painting in three dimensions with the crane as my paintbrush.”
