Artist Statement
Column is a beam of reflection. The height compresses the horizon into stratified bands that shimmy up the shaft, so mountains, clouds and trees migrate and mix as you move. The form is classical—a straight, square monolith—yet its mirrored relief rejects stillness. It behaves like water standing upright, a lens that stitches ground to sky and folds the viewer into the scene.
1/1 Modern Exhibition
Site the work with a minimum six metres of clear viewing distance on at least one axis so the full height can read and reflect the horizon line. For lighting, use high-CRI 3000–4000 K floods from low angles to graze the relief, with a soft opposite fill to avoid flare; keep luminaires shielded below eye level. In public settings, maintain a one-metre landscape buffer to deter touch and allow maintenance access. Clean only with fresh water and pH-neutral detergent using microfiber; never use abrasives or chloride cleaners.
