Artwork of the Week: Lesaka Waken

609_G_717.jpeg

While the monumentality of Lesaka Waken feels impossibly vast, anchored to both land and the highest of stratospheres, it also connects to the optics of relatively small. Is it intentional on Dixon’s part to invoke the transformative cycle of the Monarch Butterfly chrysalis, wherein the earthbound caterpillar transforms to achieve flight and migration?

This artwork is on loan from the Autry Museum for the exhibition 'Maynard Dixon: Searching for a Home.'
