If you havent seen Roxy Paine’s Maelstrom at the Met, it is definitely worth the trip. It is an organic-looking stainless steel structure on the roof of the Met at 130 feet long by 45 feet wide.
As described by the Met: “The latest in a diverse body of work, this sculpture is one of [Paine’s] Dendroids based on systems such as vascular networks, tree roots, industrial piping, and fungal mycelia. Set against Central Park and its architectural backdrop, the installation explores the interplay between the natural world and the built environment amid nature’s inherently chaotic processes.”
