Kepler Belt, no gravity assistance, working a vein of raw asteroid iron that she located herself, filed no permits for, and hauled back to her studio at Ceres Outpost 7 in a rented cargo skiff with a busted stabilizer.</p> <p>The result — <em>The Unbroken Line</em> — was, by every account from every independent critic who actually made the trip out to see it, something extraordinary. Fourteen meters of raw ferrous sculpture, torqued and tensed like a living thing mid-scream, every weld line left exposed, every stress fracture incorporated into the form rather than hidden. The piece was <em>about</em> the marks the work leaves behind. The violence of making was the art.</p>
