Susan Giles: Scenic Overlook

Gallery 1
April 19 - July 26, 2015
Using tower forms as key signifiers of place and identity, Scenic Overlook activates the two-story gallery space with four large-scale wooden sculptures that borrow signature architectural features from the four highest observation towers in the world: Tokyo Skytree, Canton Tower, CN Tower and Ostankino Tower. This work advances Giles’ investigation into tourism, architecture and the physicality of place by exploring aerial perspective and the individual’s relationship with these icons.
