When viewed head-on, the sculpture creates the effect of looking through a kaleidoscope, fragmenting one\u2019s view while also highlighting the surrounding landscape in changing seasons. The work is the third in a series of similar sculptures by Overton, with the first two currently held in private collections in both the U.S. and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1971, Overton currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She has established an active, international presence while maintaining strong connections to Middle Tennessee, where her family has owned a farm for more than a century. Overton\u2019s work \u2013 which comprises installation, sculpture, and photography \u2013 explores the profound potential of everyday materials. She transforms organic elements as well as pickup trucks, rusty pipes, and other discarded industrial materials into sculptures that respond to and shape their surrounding environments.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Overton (American, b. 1971),\u00a0<em>Untitled (4\u00d78 view)<\/em>, 2022, Steel trusses and steel pipe, Museum purchase with partial funds from the Scott Mueller Family in honor of Virginia, 2022.1.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabricated specifically for Cheekwood,\u00a0Untitled (4\u00d78 view)\u00a0is made of a steel I-beam frame with dozens of repurposed metal pipes of different&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":660,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"simple-restrict-permission":[],"class_list":["post-1820","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Virginia Overton - Cheekwood<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Virginia Overton - Cheekwood\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Fabricated specifically for Cheekwood,\u00a0Untitled (4\u00d78 view)\u00a0is made of a steel I-beam frame with dozens of repurposed metal pipes of different...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Cheekwood\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-07-10T16:26:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/\",\"name\":\"Virginia Overton - Cheekwood\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-12-22T22:35:56+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-07-10T16:26:57+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/sculpture-trail\/virginia-overton\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Discover\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/cheekwood.org\/discover\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Ann &#038;
