Grasp was made in 1997 and was returned to the
studio from the collection of an old friend who was downsizing her home.

The resulting work is Grasp/Release, 1997/2020

I would never set out to make something that looked like this work. 

It is the pure result of following through on intentions, regardless of outcome.
