Water Tower 127 - "Lewis"

$250.00

Nina Boesch is creating a series of water tower sculptures as an homage to New York City. These precious design objects are released one by one with each release being slightly different than the previous one.

This specific water tower is titled “Lewis” and it’s made from brass and upcycled plastic. In its previous life, the plastic part had served as a produce bag roller at a Manhattan grocery store.

The tank portion of this water tower has been painted, sanded and sealed with resin for a weathered look and feel.

Nina’s water towers in the wild:

Why is each Water Tower unique?

The plastic part of each water tower has had a previous life as a produce bag roller in a NYC grocery store. These plastic rollers come in different colors and varying conditions. Most have slight imperfections and show a little wear. Nina smoothes out these imperfections with fine sandpaper and filing tools, yet every water tower ends up looking slightly different than the previous one.
