Wind Blanket

2017

An experiment about landscape, wind, and perspective.
After a prompt to consider our individual perspectives on the desert landscape, participants cut holes into a length of fabric.
I had originally intended to construct a free-standing PVC structure, like a greenhouse frame, to hold up the finished work. However, the wind was intense, so in the end the participants came together to hold up our finished work, so that everyone could look through it to the other side.

Polyester lining fabric. Dimensions variable.
Presented through JTLab in Joshua Tree National Park.
