Jackie Ferrara’s Stepped Tower. It’s a sculpture that doesn’t just stand there. It interacts with its environment. Constructed in 2000, the Stepped Tower is made entirely of granite. It stands at an impressive 60 feet tall and measures 10 feet wide and deep. This isn’t just a random pile of rocks. Ferrara is known for her minimalist style and use of geometric shapes. The Stepped Tower is a testament to that. Its stepped design creates a sense of movement, even when it’s perfectly still. Imagine the sun hitting the different levels of the tower throughout the day. Each angle creates a new play of light and shadow, transforming the sculpture. It’s a reminder that art isn’t always static. It can be a living, breathing thing that changes with the world around it.
