In many of his sculptures, artist Richard Hunt uses broad forms rather than
extreme accuracy to hint at specific people or ideas. In his first major work,
Arachne (1956), Hunt constructed the mythical character Arachne, a
weaver who was changed into a spider, by welding bits of steel together
into something that, although vaguely human, is strange and machine-like.
And his large bronze sculpture The Light of Truth (2021) commemorates
activist and journalist Ida B. Wells using mainly flowing, curved pieces of
metal that create stylized flame.
