"Columns of Light" |
|
Sandstone, aluminum, plants and powder-coated roof frame. April 2003. |
|
This sculpture was designed to connect two distant buildings in an artful way. The artist's sandstone columns are spread out to use the space creatively, starting from a single, special column with interior sunlight to a trellis group and finally to a group that forms a covered seating area. There, the artist's roof structure feeds rain water to plantings, responding to the arid climate. The columns also deal with a theme of enlightenment, using light and the traditional columns found on libraries and colleges, as metaphors. The columns stand 10 feet high over a 200 x 160 ft. area.
