LOCATION: Arlington, VA SITE: Station Square Arlington County percent for Art MATERIALS - Inlaid porcelain tile and bronze, corten and stainless steel relief treatment on 4 pier facades of a corner building. The stylized forms wrap themselves around the corners and piers of the building and appear frozen within a windswept terrain. The work softens the urban context with muted earth colors that were inspired by Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints produced between the 17th and 20th Centuries. The title - "As on a Darkling Plain" - originates from Matthew Arnold's 19th C. poem - Dover Beach. |
