Come out next Friday and Saturday and see what everyone is talking about or to enjoy the magic all over again! I will update this post once the times are set.

Media: Fluorescent Tubes, Color Plastic Filters, Plaster, Enamel Paint, Steel, Wire
I started making this piece a few weeks ago while still partially deaf from the Dan Deacon concert at Cake Shop. Apparently the show knocked some craziness loose in my head and this is the result. This piece is part painting, part sculpture, and part architecture model. Intended to be a table lamp, it uses amber colored plastic tubes to soften the light from the fluorescent tubes. The name of piece derives itself from a device mentioned in Phillip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In it, the characters have a small tabletop fixture where they can dial in whatever emotion they wish to feel. This novel was also the basis for the movie Blade Runner. (Nerd Alert)

Well, I didn’t win, but here is my submission to DOT’s “reNEWable Times Square” RFP. I’m guessing it is okay to post this now since I did not receive a phone call on Tuesday. Enjoy!

The brief asks for a temporary paving design for the pedestrian plazas between 42nd and 47th streets on Broadway. The design enhances the electric space of Times Square and acts as a unifying design element for the ocular cacophony that is Times Square. Using simple components, a grid, primary colors, and squares, the result is highly complex. Intended to be evocative of pixels, tetris shapes, and Piet Mondrian’s “Broadway Boogie Woogie,” this design plays to the automatic nature of the Manhattan Grid. The 5’x5’ module is based on the standard sidewalk flag size in New York City and is aligned to the Manhattan Grid. By using this module, my design takes the existing design of the surrounding sidewalks and transforms it into a playful sea of multicolored shapes. It will also be interesting to those high above in the surrounding office towers as the pavement would vibrate as the tourists below reveal and conceal different portions of the design.
UPDATE: DOT announced the winner. Congratulations Molly Dilworth!
Come one come all! From around 5pm till lets say 9pm (or whenever), I am throwing my Studio Door wide open for the public. I promise it will be a candyland adventure not unlike Charlie’s visit to the Chocolate Factory*. There will be Beer, Wine, and Dark & Stormies (mixed with ginger infused kombucha). Crudites and snacks will be on hand should you feel famished.
*Disclaimer: I am using hyperbole here as my studio is not a chocolate factory nor do oompa-lumpas, squirrels, or creepy old men reside here.
