There was a man, born in that same locale of many names, that some called The Skipper, for his commanding nature, and that others called the Tuff Gong, for his fortitude. He referred to himself, at various times and in various songs, as the Duppy Conquerer (for his power over the spirit world), the Small Axe (who can cut down the big tree) and a Soul Rebel.

From his California experience, Maltzan seems to have picked up on one of the ubiquitous forms of movement through space: the sinuous ramps of freeway overpasses. Beyond this formal analogue, Maltzan’s geometry of bands and tubes follows after the work of Iraq-born and London-based architect Zaha Hadid. Its tubular forms recall Diller and Scofidio’s proposal for a new Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston...
