for my Earthtime series. It’s about seemingly fixed elements of our lives, like the length of the day, that have been shifted by unseen events too large or complex to comprehend. It’s about interconnectedness. This newest one is called “Earthtime 1.26.” It’s a sculpture made entirely of soft materials, so it billows with the wind.Swooping down on a busy street in one of the densest cities in the world — Hong Kong. My sculpture attaches to the facade of the historic Peninsula Hotel.
A man photographs “1.78 Madrid” last year at Plaza Mayor in downtown Madrid. The city celebrated the 400th anniversary of the square in 2018. The work explores the complex connections of the physical world. Echelman’s “1.26” was installed in 2014 over Marina Bay Sands in Singapore for the biennial iLight Festival. Singapore was its fourth continental premiere. It was commissioned in the United States, before being exhibited in Australia and Europe.
