Bronze (water sculpture)
8’H x 60’W x 8’D
This large outdoor sculpture incorporates the main entrance
sign of the Blairs complex. Curved slightly along the ground,
this sculpture includes fourteen long rectangular shapes (or
boxes) that are positioned above one another on three different
levels. Seventeen sheets of water pass between boxes at different
levels, thereby hiding the supporting vertical struts and
causing the boxes to appear as floating. The sculpture sits
in a 60’ x 7’ pool, and recycles water at a rate
of nearly 1000 gallons a minute.
Created for The
Blairs, a complex of apartments, office building, and
shopping mall, Silver Spring, Maryland. |
