Forty-first Series: Blue Sky Windows, edition 100
The worst part of winter is upon us. To offset the depression and vitamin D deficiency this time of year brings, I created a few works to remind us of the azure skies of October and the upcoming cerulean firmaments of spring. Armed with little plastic boxes, photographs of cloudy blue skies, some with an occasional a bird or two, polymer resin and a little Turrell influence I created 100 works. They are hung by red string and inside is either sand from the beaches we all wish we were on, clear bubble beads to suggest foamy lightness, fallen star sequins, or a few other little treats. (Don’t open these boxes. They are glued shut.) They will be placed in mid January through the end of February, high up in the subways, attached with a bright ART sticker.
Did you see one? Tell me!
Totally a-dorable&such a treat! A gris gris box of positivity-nice-thank you

DeleteI loved seeing the boxes fixed to a wall in the 23rd/8th C/E station (uptown). I was intrigued and had to take one with me. For a brief second, I felt like I was stealing, but rationalized it with my interest in the pieces. Mine has a small key among the sand and I love the blue sky. While I wasn't sure what the pieces were when I saw them, I pretty much resonated with them and immediately had a desire for a beach getaway. Thanks for the experience and feelings! I've always been interested in public art and especially those simply using public space as their gallery.
