Skywalkers: From Destruction to Construction

This is a tribute to the journey of the Mohawk Warrior and the transformation to the Mohawk Skywalkers who built the New York City skyline. This piece employs a base consisting of a 11” I-beam with a ¾” steel rebar holding a 2lb engineering hammer know to ironworker’s as a “beater” with crossed spud wrenches. The beater is adorned with the words Mohawk and Skywalkers on the reverse side. In addition, the Mohawk Warrior flag symbolizes the cultural identity of fearless people. Furthermore, at the bottom of the handle are two Mohawks balancing on the I-beams in a display of their prowess.
