ARTS
to retain a definitively elegant, delicate aura.
e work, created from brass tubing, was
defined by the creativity of the artist even
as it was ruled by parameters put forth by
the land itself. Conceived over the course
of a year, Overton studied the indigenous
landscape of the proposed site to follow and
compliment the light and organic changes
of the space. e result is an impossibly
engaging sculpture reflecting the changing
seasons and kaleidoscope setting of its home.
Nature was granted free license with Outlooks
– all the better to achieve the orphic patina
and encourage a rare melding with the milieu
only the elements could provide.
"…We aim to demonstrate innovative ways
in which contemporary artists are engaging
with natural spaces, and thus create a bridge
between twentieth and twenty-first century art
production at Storm King," says the museum's
Associate Curator, Nora Lawrence.
Like the other pieces featured at Storm King,
the massive scale and sinuous sprawl that
defines Outlooks is spectacularly viewed from
the many vantage points provided on the
ground or – as is so befitting for Private Air
travelers – to be admired from high above.
