Jordan has demonstrated a very high level of competence in representing the subject matter of a bicycle. There is evidence of careful and detailed observation in the handlebars, spokes, wheels and seat. Various construction techniques, such as wrapping, twisting, looping, bending, doubling and joining, have been used in this well-proportioned wire sculpture. Drawing skills and knowledge of bicycles have been applied to a new situation, and two types of wire have been used.
