Mountains Make Good Valleys

Laser-cut plate aluminum, powder-coated paint, steel rod, concrete / 9’ x 27’ x 10’ / 2017

Mountains Make Good Valleys is a proposed artwork to be viewed through a lobby window. Made of solid aluminum block, it would function less like an object and more as an image. With its details simplified to a few colors and a sandblasted surface that mimics the texture of printing paper, it aesthetically and thematically relates to Japanese woodblock prints. In this way, its scale has the ability to flip flop between vast and miniature.
