About This Piece

“Combustion” is a dynamic and luminous stainless steel sculpture. The work is composed of interlocking geometrical forms, a trademark of artist Joseph McDonnell, expressing the forces which occur in combustion. As combustion is often the cause of dangerous fumes, McDonnell felt his sculpture a proper symbol to be located outside a fire station as a reminder of the importance of the firefighters inside ready to rush to the aid of citizens in need. In addition, the material and form of the sculpture complement the architecture of the fire station, unifying the grounds and the building.
