Forged Fibs is a smaller forged steel piece based on The Fib Unheard. Proportionally and kinetically, it also disrupts the mathematical and aesthetic truth of the fibonacci sequence. This is achieved through scaled-down components representing the larger work's 7 foot-long components that interrupt the sequence of 1:1:2:3:5:8.

Purchased anonymously in 2018 for a private collection.

Signed with the initials "JK" stamped on the bottom corner of the tallest component.
