Selected as one of five sculptures for the first annual Art in Place exhibit in Charlottesville, Virginia, Transformer 1 is the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid. Wooden dowels and plastic tubing are used to create over 2000 squares that interlock with one another around an armature of steel rods to create a flexible mesh–like surface.

Originally situated in the median of a busy roadway, the sculpture now resides as part of the permanent sculpture collection of the Baker–Butler Elementary School in Charlottesville, Virginia.
