Two circular industrial forms unite around a shared palette of orange and blue. The left panel centers a heavily rusted manhole frame — its hollow oval bisected by a vertical strip e of deep blue paint — on a field of flaking yellow and gold. The right pairs a yellow cast-iron manhole lid with its removal tools laid across it in an X, the lid's surface divided by quadrant lines and ringed by a decorative geometric border, resting on a teal-tiled sidewalk. Part of Susan Bowen's Rounds Found Around series, exploring the pairing of round objects found on the street. Show more
