My father, Robert G. Satow (1942-2020) passed after a years-long battle with lung cancer. He was a good man that lived a simple life, well-respected by all that knew him. He instilled in me a love for tools and working in a shop, and showed me by example that it was ok to take some risks and pursue your dreams. He showed me the value of a strong work ethic. He always supported my choice to become an artist and he always believed in me, even when he didn't always understand my art. I have no doubt I would not be who I am today without his example. I would like to thank Buffalo Creek Art Center for their generosity in supplying the resources and location for this sculpture that I created to honor my father. The exterior is oxidized steel, the interior is stainless steel gilded with 23.75k gold. 17 feet tall, Cor contains a small amount of my father's ashes welded inside a small box, located in the interior. This work of art is the best way I could think to thank him for his love and support for the entire time I knew him.
