This edition was produced in honor of Jim Hodges 2005 collaboration with Creative Time for Art on the Plaza at the Ritz Carlton in Battery Park City, New York. As the fifth artist commissioned for Art on the Plaza, Hodges chose to create a massive site-specific sculpture titled, Look and See. A departure from his use of delicate and ephemeral materials, Hodges built Look and See out of 9 tons of polished steel molded into a curved S-shaped wall, laser cut and painted black and white in a camouflage pattern. The artwork transported visitors on a sensual journey as they experienced the warped refractive environment that fused reflections of their own images with the opposing landscapes of skyscrapers and the park and raised questions about identity, artifice, and nature.Read Less

Jim Hodges is an artist who constructs elaborate collages and installations out of disparate materials including napkins, silk, plastic, metal wires, and sheet metal disguised with camouflage. Frequently hanging from ceilings like draped curtains or gathered in piles in the corners of galleries, the pieces are like baroque pastoral landscapes brought into the third dimension. Poetic, elegant, and deeply emotional, Hodges's best works are meditations on love, the cycle of life, and the passing of time.
The artist has had numerous solo exhibitions in museums, including a 2009 show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and a 2010 survey at London's Camden Arts Centre. In 2005, he received a commission from Creative Time to install a work at the Ritz Carlton in New York's Battery Park.Read Less
