Quarter inch hot-rolled pickled and oiled steel (HRPO) is an industrial material that is relatively thin for its strength and durability.  A thin layer of zinc prevents rust from moisture and air.  The galvanized surface is synonymous with the color of steel.

Untitled (floor object no.1 A-C)
An inverted isosceles triangle is bent on its altitude at an obtuse angle. The proud side forms a diagonal pitch; the opposite an overhung void.  

Untitled (floor object no. 2) 
A concave hexagon is acutely bent at center to form an open trapezoidal prism.  An opening runs through both planes at two thirds of its height. The base of the object is twice as wide as the top.

Untitled (floor object no. 3)
Seven equidistant openings are centered inline on a rectangular strip.  The strip is bent and joined from end to end.
