About the work
Open Engine brings a folded patinated steel frame with triangular openings into clear focus. Kofi Mensah builds the work through cutting, bending, welding, patination, and hand finishing, using patinated steel with wax finish to hold the composition's shifts in color, weight, and interval.
A folded patinated steel frame with triangular openings gives the work its center of gravity. The material choices and cutting, bending, welding, patination, and hand finishing reward close, unhurried looking.
