Public Art through Sustainable Design:
I have designed a mobile framework which will be made with recycled, green building materials. The structure will consist of portable screens which will be hinged together on site and built to approximately 8’ x 16’ x 8’. The structure will be placed and secured onto a platform that can be altered to fit into any public space. The panels, which will be made out of found or recycled building materials, will screw into the frame and will be designed to tell a story about memory, place or notions of home. They may consist of photographs that will be transferred onto Plexiglas or vellum, text made out of drought tolerant plants or moss paint prints, and/or hanging woolen pockets that will serve as the vertical garden beds which will be designed in collaboration with the students from Urban Compass. I designed the frame of the “home” and the students and I will collaborate to fill the “heart” of the home within the panels.
