Commissioned for the opening of OCMA’s new building this week, Of many waters… is a 24-foot-wide-by-16-foot-tall multimedia outdoor sculpture.

In part, the sculpture looks like the archetype of a European reclining male figure – but look it also has a double-face mask assembled from metal sequins. The new commission is from Sanford Biggers is the largest sequined work they have made to date and is in their words “an object for future ethnography.” That sounds a bit like international art bollocks to me, but I appreciate the scale and grandeur of the sculpture. What a great way to launch the new home of OCMA.
