Installation day 4- Dismantle and Reflect
Today was a good day to be me. After a well deserved sleep I was back at work with my assistants dismantling and peeling back the protective skin off the installation. Several amazing things came forward, one was a square plane that reflected the exterior, this proved to be a good starting point for me as it also had a reflection from the interior window pane that suggested it was penetrating into the space. It also brought in the architectural scaffolding which I like. As we disassembled I decided to reassemble with a hardware that allowed me to keep the work as individual pieces rather than riveting them together, it also created open spaces that allowed for even more light to be absorbed. Once the skin was removed off the work it just lit the room up and absorbed it. We decided to end the day by completing the extension from the floor thru the wall into the next gallery and back, it works well as a spacer between the audience and the work but more importantly it reflects the installation beautifully. Tomorrow I will continue extending into the gallery space in unexpected ways and adding yet another secret effect to all this. I also have a lecture and presentation on NYC Graffiti history, the Outsides Project and the Process of this project. It should be really good as I am feeling rather reflective......

Hey Mare- This work is mind blowing! The architectural feeling is beautiful, sorta reminiscent of Gehry’s work. Looking forward to seeing this large-scale work in person. Congrats! Oh, and also like your shaved head

Mare...great work. Like Sagnes said..."very Gehry”...but the best part of it is it has graff soul to it. As always...clean and outlandish...dope.
