Wattship
Edgar Arceneaux, 2008
diameter of 37.5 inches
Charcoal and acrylic paint on paper
1 of 10 unique versions
The Watt’s Towers, built in Simon Rodia’s backyard, is on a triangular lot that points east towards his native Italy. The eastern most tip of the lot is reminiscent of a ship. Imagining the towers in different environments, I’ve erased the distance between the Towers and the ocean, the towers float amidst a raging sea.
