Thick Skin

“Our design is a large, monolithic object, that takes inspiration from the Earth Artist Michael Heizer’s lifelong interest in the marriage of photographs of the natural landscape and the material presence of massive geological fragments. Our installation is to be sited in the A+D courtyard; a large visual intervention in the post-industrial fabric of the Arts District. The graphic panels of the object cue viewers into a juxtaposition between the rapidly developing, hyper-urban condition of downtown LA and the material realities of the inhuman landscapes that surround it. The geometric and otherworldly nature of the work is somewhere between an installation, sculpture and a post-human monument or obelisk.
