At the time, I was working with a team of architects to design an apartment complex when word got to the developer that I was also an artist and might be interested in a special opportunity. As a kind of project within a project, I created the concept and drawings for the sculpture shown here which was produced by the developer’s fabrication team. Inspired by the graphic markings of sport courts and movement of basketball I chose to use glass discs with various layers of color, transparency and opacity. The sixteen inch diameter discs are held off the wall surface with steel rods so that light and shadow from the sun and street lamps create different compositions throughout the day and the year.
Dimensions 98 ft wide, 14 ft tall
Glass and stainless steel
