Tea and Steam is a combination of bronze, steel, and antique tractor wheels sculpted into a carefully balanced composition. The larger than life tea bowl and table are emblematic of the ritual, stillness, and calm of tea ceremonies while the steam and tractor wheels hovering above conjure ideas of movement and progress. David Kimball Anderson’s sculptures incorporate a variety of materials into layered and thoughtful compositions.
