From the tow arm of this pick-up truck, Overton hangs a steel tank, creating a mobile sculpture on a mobile vehicle. The entire surface of the truck and industrial tank is covered with a blanket of deep blue car paint so that all elements of the work cohere into a singular union. The paint explores the pickup as a tool, a symbol of a mobility and ambition, and as a sculptural material. The repurposed casing functions as both a seat and as an aperture, to be used as viewing station to frame other elements of the park and views of the landscape.
