"Stacked and strewn, hundreds of gigantic shards of glass refract the crossbeam lighting of a massive space. In another hangerlike gallery, gargantuan strips of bark form a towering gothic web. From the windows and ceiling of an industrial space, thick, winding streams of molten metal puddle on the floor. Elsewhere, fed from a forty-foot-high skylight, coils of massive tubing violate a pristine white space. Another sanitized gallery is dominated by six huge monochrome white paintings and three immense white cubes, the largest of which is thirty feet high. And then there are the enormous towers of ice, two huge mounds of salt and asphalt, the Jupiter-size steel thunderbolt, and a bird’s nest snag of withered forty-foot tree branches.

David DiMichele is the creator of these prime examples of the urge in contemporary art to shock and awe. Like the artists who have made huge puppies, humungous funhouse mirrors, and towering steel passageways, he gives viewers little chance not to pay attention. This is the heroic work of our time, requiring complicated fabrication, huge transportation budgets, and teams of workers to install."
