About the artwork- Aluminum Landscape
In a broad space outdoors at MOT, I will employ the natural and artificial in producing new scenery. My creation will reflect rain, wind, and other weather phenomena, as well as the movement of the sun, color of the sky, and other quiet changes in the environment. By reflecting the surfaces and shapes of the landscape, the artwork amplifies and transforms nature and makes it visual. It is an artificial structure with a complex and ambiguous geometry, and the object employs a thin, integrated metal membrane in covering a broad area. This scenery will unfold in the Sunken Garden, two floors below ground. Visitors will be able to walk around the display to experience it, or else, for a completely different experience, engendering different meaning, they can look down on its overall figure from the entrance lobby and Public Plaza.
