Metal Piping

A confusing combination of steel pipe and faceted section of steel on the sculpture Habitation
Metal Piping

This object appears to be an amalgamation of two junk items, with welding at the join. The top section comprises a bent steel pipe with a tapering thread. The bottom section comprises a smaller steel object with faceted sides, creating an irregular hexagonal cross section. Hexagonal shapes were commonly used for metalworking handles, providing a more stable grip than a cylinder. Perhaps this shape is a metalworking tool, such as a punch or a broach, that has been inserted into the section of threaded pipe and welded in place by César.
