I am very happy with the results. Great experience working with Jasmine, the gallery owner. Good feedback from friends and visitors. Now, I want to do more!

Dressed To Kill

New work created for the Petroleum - The Paradox call. Hope it will make it to the show.

An installation that questions our dependence on oil in the production of textiles. Clothing outfits for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday) are arranged in a circular pattern to imply repetition. Price tags visualize the petroleum based content of each garment. The percentages of petroleum based content are derived from information provided by the clothing & fabric manufacturers. The display for each individual day resembles an oil spill. Names of the manufacturers are hidden from view.

Not a Seat

My first public art project did not last very long. O well...I still like the idea.

Concept:

Inspired by the site and the importance of bringing environmental awareness to a large public audience, the seat alerts Fort Mason visitors to the issue of rising sea levels.

The seat is made of orange, polypropylene sandbags used for flood protection. The sandbags are arranged in a shape that resembles graph representing sea level rise in the last decade. Corresponding information is marked on the pavement with vinyl letters. Based on preliminary research, the pavement of this part of Fort Mason would be underwater at the high tide levels predicted for the year 2130.

Approaching visitors will be beckoned by the orange color and the sign “NOT A SEAT”.

On the back (facing the Bay) there will be a sign “FLOOD BARRIER” and information regarding specific sea level heights predicted for San Francisco during the next century (further research required).
