Winifred Lutz

The No-Longer View (Transpositions), 2002
dimensions variable

Winifred Lutz selected two places in the house where the connection between the interior and exterior reveals the influence of natural boundaries on architectural spaces. Her four-part installation underscores physical, experiential, and metaphorical relationships between these spaces and corresponding areas that she located on the grounds. Thus, the entrance foyer becomes an analog for the giant copper beech that visitors pass to arrive at Glyndor House. The foyer's ceiling dome is leafed with copper and holds an image from the beech in winter, revealing its branches as if looking upward from the center of its trunk. The niches in the foyer hold surfaces of the bark of the beech to complete an inside-out memory of the space beneath the tree. In the square sunroom, a framed circle of moss evokes the grassy stone-encircled overlook that is visible in winter from the arched windows of the room, but whose view is now obscured by summer foliage. The last piece of the installation is situated in the circular lawn of the overlook, where a square of glass block has been inlaid, becoming a window to the earth beneath. Thus two outlooks are transposed, outside circle to inside square; inside square to outside circle.
