Free Ride Home (1974) by Kenneth Snelson Set on a carefully landscaped grassy knoll, Snelson’s architecturally-scaled, open, lattice-work sculpture appears as light as a constellation of stars. Free Ride Home was erected in a half-hour by a crew of four men and has never required any adjustment. The self-supporting structure depends on a system in which the wires function like muscles and the tubes like bones, in a taut balance of tension and compression.
