Skytower was commissioned by the Pouch Cove Public Art Committee to be installed in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland from October 2024-25 as part of an initiative to bring a new sculpture to the community every year.

Sky Tower (Weather station) visualizes a large-scale tower inspired by the internal structure of a microscope. As the viewer approaches, the sky will be brought to earth in a series of reflections on stainless-steel discs, while colored plates towering into the sky take on the effect of rose-colored glasses to view the sky as it changes throughout the day and seasons. Much like a microscope or telescope, Skytower expands and amplifies space to offer alternate views and details of the environment.
