Sleeping Villages, 2010
Conversion of The Garage in Braddock, PA into a camera obscura, various detritus found
around the exhibition siteIn this one-day exhibition, I converted the front door of The Garage into a camera obscura that projected an image of the historic Edgar Thomson Steel Works on the back of the gallery wall. Various sticks, planks, pipes, and other detritus lean against the wall as if they are propping the image in the air. Just in front of the building, I am building a geodesic dome out of trash (bookshelves that I cut into strips as well as hexagonal and pentagonal hubs made from discarded palates). A night component of stargazing was canceled due to inclement weather.
