About the artwork.
Trained in jewelry and metalsmithing, internationally recognized ironworker Albert Paley has used metals to create adornment, furniture, large-scale sculpture, and architectural ornamentation. Because he works with metal at a high temperature, when it is most plastic, Paley can create baroque, looping forms such as those incorporated into Demilune with Torchiere.
