ArtAround Roswell 2020 Sculpture

In creating the Lost Horizon sculpture the artist intended to offer a point of isolation and insulation that allowed visitors an opportunity to focus on space, landscape, and self. The interactive sculpture provides an experience for the visitor to inhabit the atmosphere with their entire bodies while small parts touch the landscape. While the outside has an industrial form upon closer inspection, the viewer will recognize an entrance that allows access to the interior. Inside, the viewer can stand in the green faux grass lined funnel to raise his or her viewpoint. This space insulates sound and focuses the perspective from interior to surface to sky. Those that experience this sculpture often find a sense of isolation between the infinite depth of space and the insulating structure of the artwork.
