| art proposal | Industrial Tree is a window installation that continues my investigation on
the use of modern technology, construction, and hybridization of different
forms.
Industrial Tree is a large panel that fits behind the window on Bromfield
Street. It is comprised of a large number of Muffin Fans of various sizes
that are all interconnected to a multi-cam rotary switch. The fans are black,
the panel is white, and the wires that connect everything together are green.
As the switch rotates, different fans spin on and off until all are spinning.
Visually, the switch is the root of the piece where all the wires, or capillaries
emanate from. The fans can be considered to be leaves. As one views the
panel through the window from the street, they will witness the piece
transform from a completely static to complete dynamic object.
As the city of Boston goes through massive construction and re-development,
Industrial Tree is an homage to its changes; it is a study of nature,
development and transformation |
