Exoskeleton Tower Reach, Galeries Victoria, Sydney, 2000

Largest sculpture commission undertaken to date by Richard Goodwin. Central to the sculpture is a crane-like skeletal structure, combined with video monitors and a series of metal mesh panels. It houses state of the art surveillance equipment which scans the passing shoppers and projects images via banks of flat screen monitors. These images form the flesh of the overall construction. The public can message the pod door, which closes on the hour to reveal a continuous poem of communication..

The "Exoskeleton Tower - Reach" project aims to create a sculpture which mediates between public and private space.

The project represents a move forward in site specific sculpture, both for its scale and because the work relates intimately to its context without being subservient.
