Johnson was fascinating by large-scale monuments. He researched the power such figures have as cultural markers that can express a sense of place and identity and have gained global importance. With this series Johnson sought to explore cultural images that have become larger than life. These striking sculptures, many of them expanded to 25-feet tall, have been invited across the globe for display.
“In this new body of work, I am trying [once again] to discover what makes an image stick with us and become something more than its one moment in time.” – Seward Johnson
