Overview
34’6” x 28’ x 1’ – Powder coated aluminum, stainless steel – This work alludes to a spiritual dimension of water, as well as its capacity to be both healing and foreboding. Over thirty thousand powder coated “pixels” comprise the work. Unlike a mosaic, the viewer sees the pixels as reflected light on brushed stainless steel fins that project from the exterior wall of the building.
