sky mirror  /  New York  2006,  and London  2010

Sky Mirror is comprised of 15 'slices' arrayed about a central hub, joined together internally and meeting at hairline seams on the surface. A 'lollipop' shaped internal structure extends upward from a massive sub-grade base, threading up through the bottom center slice to the hub and cantilevering the dish at a steep angle. Sky Mirror measures 10 meters in diameter, 39 inches thick, and weighs a total of 30,000 pounds. The sculpture has been shown in Rockefeller Center, New York City and Kensington Gardens, London. Stainless steel, produced for Anish Kapoor.
