Lowell's Ocean
Walk around this sculpture, noticing how it looks different depending on where you stand. Named after Mark di Suvero’s long-time installation supervisor Lowell McKegney, “whose soul was as big as an ocean,” Lowell’s Ocean tests the physical limits of large-scale sculpture. Crisscrossing I-beams and a massive spiral of steel engage this space in a way that is both playful and monumental: a dynamic moment connecting earth and sky, frozen in time.
