The West
1987
Donald Lipski
Upon seeing the piece for the first time, you might just think there's nothing special about it. However, when closely inspecting and researching this piece you realize that these two spheres are actually two spherical buoys which have been taken out of their natural habitat, the water. This piece is shown either indoors or on dry land making the buoys "fish out of water" in a sense. The main structure consists of painted steel, corroded copper pennies, and silicone adhesive which were intentionally corroded to represent how things become outdated very quickly. "The West" refers to the western half of the United States; to military and commercial ports and western values of money.
