Ball-Nogues studio couldn't wait long before putting their finishing touches on the recently designed Dylan building in California. The latest installation from the studio is titled 'Corner Glory,' which features mirrored spikes coming out of the corner of the building.
The installation is not temporary, so hopefully residences of the area are welcome to the idea of a very noticeable piece of artwork placed in this section of the apartment building. When looking up at the piece, it looks as if the top area is a set of eyelashes, with an excessive amount of mascara being used. However, when looking from a different perspective the design goes back to looking more like sharp mirrored objects.
Corner Glory is definitely noticeable when walking down the street. Photo Credits: designboom, ball-nogues
