Parallel Perpendicular (2022)
Phillip K. Smith III
DESCRIPTION: 135-inch high by 40-foot diameter installation consisting of 5 freestanding mirrored glass and steel "volumes" or shapes with internal lighting, composed of parallel and perpendicular planes; the five volumes are mounted above a 40-foot diameter circle
This large installation, mounted on a 3-foot high landscaped base, is the sculptural centerpiece of West Hollywood Park. It was dedicated on November 2, 2022.
Artist's statement: "Composed of five freestanding volumes, Parallel Perpendicular orchestrates parallel and perpendicular planes of reflection and color that transform from day to night through the movement of the sun and the viewer. By day, the beauty of the park, sky, and West Hollywood community collages across the sculpture’s surface as fragmented reflections. By night, the reflective planes become fields of floating color that slowly shift and merge to create an ever-changing, precisely choreographed composition of color, light, and reflection. Parallel Perpendicular is an artwork that can never be seen the same way twice and, as a result, is meant to be engaged with and visited throughout the year as the light, color, and atmosphere of West Hollywood transforms through the seasons." - Phillip K.
