Once Hilary Goldblatt conceptualized Menomonee she built a maquette and created the full-scale work at Hartbronze, Inc., a foundry that she co-founded. The sculpture's ultimate abstract form reflects its meaning. "In a 1986 exhibition at the David Barnett Gallery, the artist said: '...Ideally the work should speak for itself. I am more interested in discovering my philosophy during the process of working. My discoveries, thoughts and statements are recorded in the work. Making sculpture is an instrument that I have used for learning to get at truths which also have a universality that others might sense." Goldblatt gave the work, which was originally located at the Peck Meat Packing Corp., to Bernie Peck in appreciation for his support.
