Just as the Art + Architecture show at the Gowanus Ballroom wrapped up in mid-April (post on this later), I discovered that my biggest installation yet was moved forward some weeks to May 3rd! zing!

Ok, one Gowanus shot..


Some serious calculations involved in seeing if it was feasible...deep breath and dive in.

So here are some process shots from the printshop as I prepare for 16' x 120' of window in the closed library space across the street from MoMA on 53rd St. backstory here

"Constructing a Midtown Forest"
behind the scenes...(more words soon, right now I'm a little faux foliage factory)





Definitely inspired by the week of blooming Dogwoods in the city...and by the look of the colors in the drying racks, Easter too.



meshing all kinds of mutated tessellated origami (thanks eric gjerde!) + hexagonal patterns into fake foliage...one pattern more visible from front, one from behind
...there will be a mirror of sorts 30" behind the window to capture this for the curious
who dare peak behind the curtain



I love printing in Midtown...already gathering the energy of the site pre-installation.
