ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Totem #6 is part of late artist Rod Kagan's series of tall geometric sculptures. He hand-built the sculpture in his studio, North Fork Ironworks, located in Ketchum, Idaho. He first welded the bronze together then ground the welded seams smooth. He then applied a patina to color the surface of the sculpture.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Department of Corrections.
