About The Work
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.
