Multimedia artist Clifford Ross looks beyond the natural world to uncover a world bound only by the imagination, much like in Lewis Carrolls Through the Looking Glass. Images are reversed and landscapes reimagined. Ross uses old and new methods to produce exceptionally beautiful and radically redesigned conceptions of reality, presenting his own digital vision. In 2009, Ross was commissioned, together with the Franz Mayer of Munich manufacturers, to create a monumental public art project for the US Federal Courthouse in Austin, Texas. He developed a colourful twenty-eight-foot square stained glass wall with built-in hydraulic doors that open into a large events space. This book documents the process of creation and installation, which brought together architects, engineers, craftsmen and government officials, combining traditional construction techniques with the latest digital technology. This book contains one hundred full-colour illustrations documenting all phases of the walls design and construction from photographs to pencil sketches and computer renderings and charting the creation of a modern monument. Also included is an essay by the architecture critic Paul Goldberger.
