BURIAL MOUND AT THE MIMI DIPIETRO ICE RINK

materials:   rock salt, table salt, foam, plastic, balloons, nylon string, cinder block, PVC, cotton, nylon rope, steel, newspaper, packing tape, Plexiglas, velvet, tartan wool, drawings on vellum and paper 

This installation is a physical representation of the video VISION QUEST LUNDI: BALTIMORE. It was installed at Open Space Baltimore. This installation incorporates visual components of the video to encapsulate both the narrative and its underlying concepts. Around the perimeter of the gallery are diagrams transposing various imagery and ideas onto a multi-layered shape on architectural vellum. One of the layers (or stages) of the shape is reflected in the footprint of the sculptural pieces, delineated by salt, ice rink walls, and balloons and split down the middle with pennants.
