| dc.description | Overall view; Bertoia, born in Italy in 1915, moved to Detroit, where he studied at Cass Technical High School and attended college at what is now the College of Creative Studies. He became a student at Cranbrook in 1937 and began to teach graphic design and metalsmithing at the school the following year. This piece was created by making a mold in sand and pouring the molten bronze directly into the ground. Ossabaw Island is near Savannah, Georgia. Bertoia stayed at Ossabaw in 1962 as part of the Ossabaw Island Project to support artists and writers, and it was there that he got the idea to do sand-casting (called spillcasting) with bronze, but he did not execute the piece, his first using the method, until he returned to Cranbook.
