"Woodman Tower Construction Transit"
3D Lenticular Media, w acrylic 
42 x32" 2020  (framed)
 
Mary Ann Strandell,



 
Art statement;
Every time I venture to Omaha, I search for the tower
marked WOODMAN. The urban core surrounds it.
It was more indelible after Alexander Payne's, About Schmidt.
The construction site rendered in ink, of the1971 structure 
is embedded into the layers of this 3d Lenticular Media. It is 
part of a long line of works that envelope my interest in unfolding 
the views of the subtext, the bones of time. There is memory 
imbued within the bones of the building, the place, the architecture 
that in and of itself has veracity. These time-drawings arc to reel
in the strength of what is becoming,  before our societal 
eyes have shaped it. There is a second construction site in the work. 
It is the famous World War I memorial in Kansas City.
My rendering of it reveals the inner construction, built in 1926. 
There are five additional tower buildings within the framework 
of this lenticular. Two of them are cell towers within the city 
limits of Omaha. These many drawings reverberate within the
mapping and geometric forms that interweave a nuanced grid. 
The optical lense surface of the lenticular allows the many layers 
to activate with the viewer's movement.
