| Untitled (drawing for Storm King), detail 2014 wax crayon on paper |
Untitled 2014 Brass and painted steel, 121.9 cm x 148.7 m x 10.2 cm (48" x 488' x 4") Installation view Storm King Art Center, NY, USA In a Storm King hay field, artist Virginia Overton has designed a sculptural installation that is simultaneously sweeping and delicate in scale. Created out of four-inch-diameter brass tubing, the work glides above the earth across the field’s five-hundred-foot width. Storm King’s landscape helped to determine the parameters of this untitled work: the field’s length dictated that of the installation, and the work echoes the contour of the field as it slopes from west to east. Overton visited Storm King several times—through every season—as she conceived the work. The period of its exhibition, May through November, bears witness to many changes in climate, and by design, the duration of the installation will affect the piece. The tube will slowly form a patina, and its color will also reflect its natural surroundings as the seasons shift from early spring, to summer, to deep autumn. In part, the work functions as a drawing in space. When compared to the grand scale of the landscape around it, the brass tube becomes a slight gesture. The line of the work is formally elegant, but its expansive span also implies that the line is meant to be seen from afar, in full, perhaps from atop one of Storm King’s many vistas; the piece also seems to invite an aerial viewpoint. |
Overton’s line across space has a functional corollary in cartography and mapping, in which large expanses of space are translated into two dimensions in order to be understood. Overton worked with a topographic map of Storm King’s property to familiarize herself with the site. Topographic maps are meant to aid in land management, strategic planning, security, and the identification and understanding of natural resources. The symbolic visual language of a topographic map’s lines and concentric rings informs her installation. The idea of a field as more than a passive, natural space is of interest to Overton, who has long been engaged with social histories of spaces. She chose to make a work at this particular site in part because of its background as an active farming site, a site from which hay is still harvested every year. At four feet, the tube will hover just above the height line of the hay at its tallest, before it is harvested. |
