The work expand their exploration of three-dimensional drawing, and is inspired by Renaissance era trompe l'oeil ceilings. The piece recreates the ornamental elements and geometries that correspond to a former leaded glass ceiling, before its renovation in the 1970s, that was installed above the room where the "three-dimensional" drawing is currently located.
The 10.4-meter x 11.6-meter suspended installation is made of printed textile cut and hung over an aluminum frame.
Brennan Buck, partner at FreelandBuck shares, "The intricacy of the original ceiling, allowed us to create a dense cloud of lines overhead while clearly evoking the ornamental style of the original building." Through the power of depth perspectives Over View creates an illusionary visual showcasing an intricate pattern of lines and abstractions. The project installation was commissioned in an effort to help restore the historic building in order to provide a new museum for older kids looking to experience and learn art technology.
Over View is a continuation of FreelandBuck's previous project, Parallax Gap, which was exhibited in 2017 by the Rewnick Gallery at the Smithsonian Museum of Art.
