Description: This is a permanent, site specific installation, utilizing a curved window detail suspended off the super truss roof of the building. When I first met with the art consultant and architects, they asked me, well what would you like to do, I found this a rather daunting question, here was this enormous building and many large scale possibilities. I noticed the window detail hanging off the roof of the building, at the time it was more of a grid, somewhat akin to the taillight of a Chevy. I decided the window would be a perfect location for some sort of piece. I developed three animations to play during various events held at the Staples Center in the evening.
Part of the Collection: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California.
