RIGHT TURN ONLY是一个分散方向的漩涡装置,凝结的交通箭头向内盘旋,指向天空。装置的灵感来源于围绕环岛的车流和已经存在的标识,该装置与环岛附近的路标相映成趣,作为城市地理路况的衍生。
RIGHT TURN ONLY is a vortex of decentered directions, where condensed traffic arrows spiral inward and twirl upward toward the sky. Drawing inspiration from the roundabout’s cyclical motion and preexisting signage, the installation playfully nods to the street signs surrounding the roundabout, serving as an extension of the city’s topographical roadways.

受Fort Worth悠久的飞机制造业的历史的影响,场地曾经是国家最大的飞机制造产地,RIGHT TURN ONLY 装置模仿了上升飞机机翼上经常脱落的翼尖涡流所形成的环形气流模式。 螺旋形状微妙地触及地面,象征着成长、重生和升华。随着观者视角的转换,雕塑也随之改变——变成一阵风、一个巢,一个贝壳的内部。

Inspired by Fort Worth’s rich aeronautical history, once the site of the country’s most extensive aircraft manufacturing program, RIGHT TURN ONLY mimics the circular air patterns created by wingtip vortices often shed from the wings of ascending planes. The spiral shape delicately touches the ground and symbolizes growth, rebirth, and ascension. As the viewer’s perspective shifts, the sculpture transforms—becoming a gust of wind, a nest, and then the interior of a shell.

装置的建造始于数百个重新粉刷的交通标识,它的钢铝结构优雅地触及拉斯维加斯小路环岛的表面。该雕塑高约20英尺,成为复兴社区中的大胆且充满想象力的地标。
Constructed from hundreds of brightly painted traffic arrows, RIGHT TURN ONLY’s steel and aluminum structure gracefully meets the surface of the Las Vegas Trail roundabout. The sculpture extends 20 feet into the air, acting as a bold and whimsical landmark for this reemerging community.

目标
Goals
融合对于这件艺术作品至关重要。在社区对外扩张的阶段,这里的居民们设定了指导社区发展的目标,强调地域特征,明亮的颜色,新起点,希望,复兴和统一的外观。该艺术作品参考了环岛交通标识和当地飞机制造业的历史,还受到翼尖涡流的灵感启发。因其会被路人们从各个角度观察,它需要从每个角度看都是灵活生动的。
Integration is essential to this artwork. During the community outreach phase, residents set goals to guide its development, emphasizing visibility, bright colors, new beginnings, hope, rejuvenation, and universal appeal. The artwork references roundabout signage and local aeronautic history, inspired by wingtip vortices. It needed to be dynamic from all angles, as it would be viewed by pedestrians from every direction.

通过让艺术家影响环岛的设计,进一步加强了融合。混凝土带从中心向外螺旋形延伸,强调了艺术品的柱状形态和当地的历史功能。环岛的中性色调使艺术品的亮色脱颖而出。雕塑微妙地触及地面增添了一丝动感之美,更进一步的融入环境。
The integration was further enhanced by allowing the artist to influence the roundabout’s design. Concrete bands spiral out from the center, reinforcing the artwork’s cyclical motion and the site’s function. Neutral tones in the roundabout make the artwork’s bold colors stand out. The delicate way the sculpture touches the ground adds beautiful dynamism, further integrating it into the space.

建造过程
Process
合作是艺术家作品的核心,在制作装置的过程中至关重要——从概念选择到设计升华和安装。艺术家和算法设计师一起开发出一种设计算法,生成了数百个设计模型。这一通力合作探索了更多的可能性。下一步骤中,Reigelman和结构工程师和制造商紧密合作,以确保结构的牢固和安装的便捷。他们的专业性对于将复杂设计转译成实体模型非常关键,在这一过程中保持了艺术上的完整,也满足了各项安全标准。
Collaboration is core to the Artist’s work, and it was essential throughout the creation of RIGHT TURN ONLY—from concept selection to design development and installation. I partnered with a Computational Designer to develop custom scripts for the design, generating hundreds of design variations. This collaborative effort allowed for a rich exploration of possibilities. Next, Reigelman worked closely with a structural engineer and fabricator to ensure the artwork was both structurally sound and easily fabricable. Their expertise was crucial in translating the complex design into a physical form that maintained its artistic integrity and met all safety standards.
