Stratiformis, Steel sculpture in Catalano Square, Historic Third Ward, Milwaukee, US.
The Stratiformis sculpture incorporates disassembled knitting machines within a grid of rebar, wrapped with galvanized and copper wire throughout its structure.
The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design initiated the Open Art Project in 2004, leading to the installation of Stratiformis as the Third Ward's first permanent public artwork.
Students from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design participated in the research and creation process under Professor Jill Sebastian's guidance.
The steel structure receives regular sealant applications to prevent excessive rusting and maintain its condition in Milwaukee's variable weather conditions.
The sculpture contains machinery parts from Reliable Knitting Works, the last United States manufacturer of wool hats, gloves, and hockey stockings.
