Broken | Snap

Broken | Snap is my first piece accepted in the 2022 Chicago Sculpture Exhibit.

This is a large scale, three-dimensional work currently on view outside of Hibbard Elementary School at Argyle and Spaulding. It is a 10 foot tall plasma cut steel sculpture with a steel base finished with black automobile paint and white oil marker.

Broken and Snap are two words I've seen used by graffiti artists near where I live. I wanted to create something permanent, with dimension, unlike graffiti itself.

Over the course of the year Broken | Snap is on display, I am hoping it will become a canvas for others to leave their mark. I encourage others to add stickers, color or other graffiti.

In addition to sculpture, Pat Stephens works in small metals, ceramics and photography. All have themes that spring from the street.
